-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Aug 31 09:56:48 UTC 2023 - Thorsten Kukuk <kukuk@suse.com>
- Update to 9.4:
Bug fixes:
* b2sum --check will no longer read unallocated memory when
presented with malformed checksum lines.
[bug introduced in coreutils-9.2]
* cp --parents again succeeds when preserving mode for absolute directories.
Previously it would have failed with a "No such file or directory" error.
[bug introduced in coreutils-9.1]
* cp --sparse=never will avoid copy-on-write (reflinking) and copy offloading,
to ensure no holes present in the destination copy.
[bug introduced in coreutils-9.0]
* cksum again diagnoses read errors in its default CRC32 mode.
[bug introduced in coreutils-9.0]
* cksum --check now ensures filenames with a leading backslash character
are escaped appropriately in the status output.
This also applies to the standalone checksumming utilities.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.25]
* dd again supports more than two multipliers for numbers.
Previously numbers of the form '1024x1024x32' gave "invalid number" errors.
[bug introduced in coreutils-9.1]
* factor, numfmt, and tsort now diagnose read errors on the input.
[This bug was present in "the beginning".]
* install --strip now supports installing to files with a leading hyphen.
Previously such file names would have caused the strip process to fail.
[This bug was present in "the beginning".]
* ls now shows symlinks specified on the command line that can't be traversed.
Previously a "Too many levels of symbolic links" diagnostic was given.
[This bug was present in "the beginning".]
* pr --length=1 --double-space no longer enters an infinite loop.
[This bug was present in "the beginning".]
* tac now handles short reads on its input. Previously it may have exited
erroneously, especially with large input files with no separators.
[This bug was present in "the beginning".]
* uptime no longer incorrectly prints "0 users" on OpenBSD,
and is being built again on FreeBSD and Haiku.
[bugs introduced in coreutils-9.2]
* wc -l and cksum no longer crash with an "Illegal instruction" error
on x86 Linux kernels that disable XSAVE YMM. This was seen on Xen VMs.
[bug introduced in coreutils-9.0]
Changes in behavior:
* cp -v and mv -v will no longer output a message for each file skipped
due to -i, or -u. Instead they only output this information with --debug.
I.e., 'cp -u -v' etc. will have the same verbosity as before coreutils-9.3.
* cksum -b no longer prints base64-encoded checksums. Rather that
short option is reserved to better support emulation of the standalone
checksum utilities with cksum.
* mv dir x now complains differently if x/dir is a nonempty directory.
Previously it said "mv: cannot move 'dir' to 'x/dir': Directory not empty",
where it was unclear whether 'dir' or 'x/dir' was the problem.
Now it says "mv: cannot overwrite 'x/dir': Directory not empty".
Similarly for other renames where the destination must be the problem.
[problem introduced in coreutils-6.0]
- Enable systemd-logind support
- Add gnulib-readutmp.patch: Fix seg.fault of who, pinky, uptime [dgo#65617]
- Create -systemd flavor with binaries linked against libsystemd
- Drop coreutils-invalid-ids.patch to get consistent behavior, most tools
where already removed from that patch.
- coreutils-misc.patch: adjust paths
- coreutils-skip-some-sort-tests-on-ppc.patch: adjust paths
- coreutils-test_without_valgrind.patch: adjust paths
- coreutils-i18n.patch: update from Fedora
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Apr 20 09:19:20 UTC 2023 - Bernhard Voelker <mail@bernhard-voelker.de>
- update to 9.3:
Bug fixes:
* cp --reflink=auto (the default), mv, and install
will again fall back to a standard copy in more cases.
Previously copies could fail with permission errors on
more restricted systems like android or containers etc.
[bug introduced in coreutils-9.2]
* cp --recursive --backup will again operate correctly.
Previousy it may have issued "File exists" errors when
it failed to appropriately rename files being replaced.
[bug introduced in coreutils-9.2]
* date --file and dircolors will now diagnose a failure to read a file.
Previously they would have silently ignored the failure.
[This bug was present in "the beginning".]
* md5sum --check again correctly prints the status of each file checked.
Previously the status for files was printed as 'OK' once any file had passed.
This also applies to cksum, sha*sum, and b2sum.
[bug introduced in coreutils-9.2]
* wc will now diagnose if any total counts have overflowed.
[This bug was present in "the beginning".]
* `wc -c` will again correctly update the read offset of inputs.
Previously it deduced the size of inputs while leaving the offset unchanged.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.27]
* Coreutils programs no longer fail for timestamps past the year 2038
on obsolete configurations with 32-bit signed time_t, because the
build procedure now rejects these configurations.
[This bug was present in "the beginning".]
Changes in behavior:
* 'cp -n' and 'mv -n' now issue an error diagnostic if skipping a file,
to correspond with -n inducing a nonzero exit status as of coreutils 9.2.
Similarly 'cp -v' and 'mv -v' will output a message for each file skipped
due to -n, -i, or -u.
New features:
* cp and mv now support --update=none to always skip existing files
in the destination, while not affecting the exit status.
This is equivalent to the --no-clobber behavior from before v9.2.
- drop fix-reflink-fallback.patch (upstream).
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Apr 6 16:12:43 UTC 2023 - Dirk Müller <dmueller@suse.com>
- add fix-reflink-fallback.patch (bsc#1210033)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Mar 21 20:58:07 UTC 2023 - Dirk Müller <dmueller@suse.com>
- update to 9.2:
* cksum now accepts the --base64 (-b) option to print
base64-encoded checksums. It also accepts/checks such
checksums.
* cksum now accepts the --raw option to output a raw binary
checksum. No file name or other information is output in
this mode.
* cp, mv, and install now accept the --debug option to
print details on how a file is being copied.
* factor now accepts the --exponents (-h) option to print
factors in the form p^e, rather than repeating the prime p, e
times.
* ls now supports the --time=modification option, to explicitly
select the default mtime timestamp for display and sorting.
* mv now supports the --no-copy option, which causes it to fail
when asked to move a file to a different file system.
* split now accepts options like '-n SIZE' that exceed machine
integer range, when they can be implemented as if they were
infinity.
* split -n now accepts piped input even when not in round-robin
mode, by first copying input to a temporary file to determine its
size.
* wc now accepts the --total={auto,never,always,only} option
to give explicit control over when the total is output.
* 'cp --reflink=always A B' no longer leaves behind a newly
created empty file B merely because copy-on-write clones are not
supported.
* 'cp -n' and 'mv -n' now exit with nonzero status if they skip
their action because the destination exists, and likewise for 'cp
-i', 'ln -i', and 'mv -i' when the user declines. (POSIX
specifies this for 'cp -i' and 'mv -i'.)
* cp, mv, and install again read in multiples of the reported
block size, to support unusual devices that may have this
constraint.
* du --apparent now counts apparent sizes only of regular files
and symbolic links. POSIX does not specify the meaning of
apparent sizes (i.e., st_size) for other file types, and
counting those sizes could cause confusing and unwanted size
mismatches.
* 'ls -v' and 'sort -V' go back to sorting ".0" before ".A",
reverting to the behavior in coreutils-9.0 and earlier.
This behavior is now documented.
* ls --color now matches a file extension case sensitively
if there are different sequences defined for separate cases.
* printf unicode \uNNNN, \UNNNNNNNN syntax, now supports all
valid unicode code points. Previously is was restricted to
the C universal character subset, which restricted most points <=
0x9F.
* runcon now exits with status 125 for internal errors.
Previously upon internal errors it would exit with status 1,
which was less distinguishable
from errors from the invoked command.
* 'split -n N' now splits more evenly when the input size is
not a multiple of N, by creating N output files whose sizes
differ by at most 1 byte. Formerly, it did this only when
the input size was less than N.
* 'stat -c %s' now prints sizes as unsigned, consistent with
'ls'.
* a long list of bugfixes, see included NEWS file for details

Sun Apr 24 09:49:04 UTC 2022 - Bernhard Voelker <mail@bernhard-voelker.de>
- gnulib-simple-backup-fix.patch: Add patch to make simple backups in correct
directory; broken in 9.1. See https://bugs.gnu.org/55029
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Apr 21 20:58:30 UTC 2022 - Dirk Müller <dmueller@suse.com>
- update to 9.1:
* chmod -R no longer exits with error status when encountering symlinks.
All files would be processed correctly, but the exit status was incorrect.
* If 'cp -Z A B' checks B's status and some other process then removes B,
cp no longer creates B with a too-generous SELinux security context
before adjusting it to the correct value.
* 'cp --preserve=ownership A B' no longer ignores the umask when creating B.
Also, 'cp --preserve-xattr A B' is less likely to temporarily chmod u+w B.
* 'id xyz' now uses the name 'xyz' to determine groups, instead of xyz's uid.
* 'ls -v' and 'sort -V' no longer mishandle corner cases like "a..a" vs "a.+"
or lines containing NULs. Their behavior now matches the documentation
for file names like ".m4" that consist entirely of an extension,
and the documentation has been clarified for unusual cases.
* 'mv -T --backup=numbered A B/' no longer miscalculates the backup number
for B when A is a directory, possibly inflooping.
* cat now uses the copy_file_range syscall if available, when doing
simple copies between regular files. This may be more efficient, by avoiding
user space copies, and possibly employing copy offloading or reflinking.
* chown and chroot now warn about usages like "chown root.root f",
which have the nonstandard and long-obsolete "." separator that
causes problems on platforms where user names contain ".".
Applications should use ":" instead of ".".
* cksum no longer allows abbreviated algorithm names,
so that forward compatibility and robustness is improved.
* date +'%-N' now suppresses excess trailing digits, instead of always
padding them with zeros to 9 digits. It uses clock_getres and
clock_gettime to infer the clock resolution.
* dd conv=fsync now synchronizes output even after a write error,
and similarly for dd conv=fdatasync.
* dd now counts bytes instead of blocks if a block count ends in "B".
For example, 'dd count=100KiB' now copies 100 KiB of data, not
102,400 blocks of data. The flags count_bytes, skip_bytes and
seek_bytes are therefore obsolescent and are no longer documented,
though they still work.
* ls no longer colors files with capabilities by default, as file-based
capabilties are very rarely used, and lookup increases processing per file by
about 30%. It's best to use getcap [-r] to identify files with capabilities.
* ls no longer tries to automount files, reverting to the behavior
before the statx() call was introduced in coreutils-8.32.
* stat no longer tries to automount files by default, reverting to the
behavior before the statx() call was introduced in coreutils-8.32.
Only `stat --cached=never` will continue to automount files.
* timeout --foreground --kill-after=... will now exit with status 137
if the kill signal was sent, which is consistent with the behavior
when the --foreground option is not specified. This allows users to
distinguish if the command was more forcefully terminated.
* dd now supports the aliases iseek=N for skip=N, and oseek=N for seek=N,
like FreeBSD and other operating systems.
* dircolors takes a new --print-ls-colors option to display LS_COLORS
entries, on separate lines, colored according to the entry color code.
* dircolors will now also match COLORTERM in addition to TERM environment
variables. The default config will apply colors with any COLORTERM set.
* cp, mv, and install now use openat-like syscalls when copying to a directory.
* This avoids some race conditions and should be more efficient.
* The new 'date' option --resolution outputs the timestamp resolution.
* With conv=fdatasync or conv=fsync, dd status=progress now reports
any extra final progress just before synchronizing output data,
since synchronizing can take a long time.
* printf now supports printing the numeric value of multi-byte characters.
* sort --debug now diagnoses issues with --field-separator characters
that conflict with characters possibly used in numbers.
* 'tail -f file | filter' now exits on Solaris when filter exits.
* root invoked coreutils, that are built and run in single binary mode,
now adjust /proc/$pid/cmdline to be more specific to the utility
being run, rather than using the general "coreutils" binary name.

- Update to 9.0:
* Noteworthy changes in release 9.0 (2021-09-24) [stable]
** Bug fixes
chmod -v no longer misreports modes of dangling symlinks.
[bug introduced in coreutils-5.3.0]
cp -a --attributes-only now never removes destination files,
even if the destination files are hardlinked, or the source
is a non regular file.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.6]
csplit --suppress-matched now elides the last matched line
when a specific number of pattern matches are performed.
[bug introduced with the --suppress-matched feature in coreutils-8.22]
df no longer outputs duplicate remote mounts in the presence of bind mounts.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.26]
df no longer mishandles command-line args that it pre-mounts
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.29]
du no longer crashes on XFS file systems when the directory hierarchy is
heavily changed during the run.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.25]
env -S no longer crashes when given unusual whitespace characters
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.30]
expr no longer mishandles unmatched \(...\) in regular expressions.
[bug introduced in coreutils-6.0]
ls no longer crashes when printing the SELinux context for unstatable files.
[bug introduced in coreutils-6.9.91]
mkdir -m no longer mishandles modes more generous than the umask.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.22]
nl now handles single character --section-delimiter arguments,
by assuming a second ':' character has been specified, as specified by POSIX.
[This bug was present in "the beginning".]
pr again adjusts tabs in input, to maintain alignment in multi column output.
[bug introduced in coreutils-6.9]
rm no longer skips an extra file when the removal of an empty directory fails.
[bug introduced by the rewrite to use fts in coreutils-8.0]
split --number=K/N will again correctly split chunk K of N to stdout.
Previously a chunk starting after 128KiB, output the wrong part of the file.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.26]
tail -f no longer overruns a stack buffer when given too many files
to follow and ulimit -n exceeds 1024.
[bug introduced in coreutils-7.5]
tr no longer crashes when using --complement with certain
invalid combinations of case character classes.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.6]
basenc --base64 --decode no longer silently discards decoded characters
on (1024*5) buffer boundaries
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.31]
** Changes in behavior
cp and install now default to copy-on-write (COW) if available.
cp, install and mv now use the copy_file_range syscall if available.
Also, they use lseek+SEEK_HOLE rather than ioctl+FS_IOC_FIEMAP on sparse
files, as lseek is simpler and more portable.
On GNU/Linux systems, ls no longer issues an error message on a
directory merely because it was removed. This reverts a change
that was made in release 8.32.
ptx -T no longer attempts to substitute old-fashioned TeX escapes
for 8-bit non-ASCII alphabetic characters. TeX indexes should
instead use '\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}' or equivalent.
stat will use decomposed (major,minor) device numbers in its default format.
This is less ambiguous, and more consistent with ls.
sum [-r] will output a file name, even if only a single name is passed.
This is consistent with sum -s, cksum, and other sum(1) implementations.
** New Features
cksum now supports the -a (--algorithm) option to select any
of the existing sum, md5sum, b2sum, sha*sum implementations etc.
cksum now subsumes all of these programs, and coreutils
will introduce no future standalone checksum utility.
cksum -a now supports the 'sm3' argument, to use the SM3 digest algorithm.
cksum --check now supports auto detecting the digest type to use,
when verifying tagged format checksums.
expr and factor now support bignums on all platforms.
ls --classify now supports the "always", "auto", or "never" flags,
to support only outputting classifier characters if connected to a tty.
ls now accepts the --sort=width option, to sort by file name width.
This is useful to more compactly organize the default vertical column output.
ls now accepts the --zero option, to terminate each output line with
NUL instead of newline.
nl --line-increment can now take a negative number to decrement the count.
stat supports more formats for representing decomposed device numbers.
%Hd,%Ld and %Hr,%Lr will output major,minor device numbers and device types
respectively. %d corresponds to st_dev and %r to std_rdev.
** Improvements
cat --show-ends will now show \r\n as ^M$. Previously the \r was taken
literally, thus overwriting the first character in the line with '$'.
cksum [-a crc] is now up to 4 times faster by using a slice by 8 algorithm,
and at least 8 times faster where pclmul instructions are supported.
A new --debug option will indicate if pclmul is being used.
md5sum --check now supports checksum files with CRLF line endings.
This also applies to cksum, sha*sum, and b2sum.
df now recognizes these file systems as remote:
acfs, coda, fhgfs, gpfs, ibrix, ocfs2, and vxfs.
rmdir now clarifies the error if a symlink_to_dir/ has not been traversed.
This is the case on GNU/Linux systems, where the trailing slash is ignored.
stat and tail now know about the "devmem", "exfat", "secretmem", "vboxsf",
and "zonefs" file system types. stat -f -c%T now reports the file system
type, and tail -f uses polling for "vboxsf" and inotify for the others.
timeout now supports sub-second timeouts on macOS.
wc is up to 5 times faster when counting only new line characters,
where avx2 instructions are supported.
A new --debug option will indicate if avx2 is being used.

Mon Mar 9 07:17:46 UTC 2020 - Bernhard Voelker <mail@bernhard-voelker.de>
- Update to 8.32:
* Noteworthy changes in release 8.32 (2020-03-05) [stable]
** Bug fixes
cp now copies /dev/fd/N correctly on platforms like Solaris where
it is a character-special file whose minor device number is N.
[bug introduced in fileutils-4.1.6]
dd conv=fdatasync no longer reports a "Bad file descriptor" error
when fdatasync is interrupted, and dd now retries interrupted calls
to close, fdatasync, fstat and fsync instead of incorrectly
reporting an "Interrupted system call" error.
[bugs introduced in coreutils-6.0]
df now correctly parses the /proc/self/mountinfo file for unusual entries
like ones with '\r' in a field value ("mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /foo$'\r'bar"),
when the source field is empty ('mount -t tmpfs "" /mnt'), and when the
filesystem type contains characters like a blank which need escaping.
[bugs introduced in coreutils-8.24 with the introduction of reading
the /proc/self/mountinfo file]
factor again outputs immediately when stdout is a tty but stdin is not.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.24]
ln works again on old systems without O_DIRECTORY support (like Solaris 10),
and on systems where symlink ("x", ".") fails with errno == EINVAL
(like Solaris 10 and Solaris 11).
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.31]
rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty now works correctly for directories
that fail to be removed due to permission issues. Previously the exit status
was reversed, failing for non empty and succeeding for empty directories.
[bug introduced in coreutils-6.11]
'shuf -r -n 0 file' no longer mistakenly reads from standard input.
[bug introduced with the --repeat feature in coreutils-8.22]
split no longer reports a "output file suffixes exhausted" error
when the specified number of files is evenly divisible by 10, 16, 26,
for --numeric, --hex, or default alphabetic suffixes respectively.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.24]
seq no longer prints an extra line under certain circumstances (such as
'seq -f "%g " 1000000 1000000').
[bug introduced in coreutils-6.10]
** Changes in behavior
Several programs now check that numbers end properly. For example,
'du -d 1x' now reports an error instead of silently ignoring the 'x'.
Affected programs and options include du -d, expr's numeric operands
on non-GMP builds, install -g and -o, ls's TABSIZE environment
variable, mknod b and c, ptx -g and -w, shuf -n, and sort --batch-size
and --parallel.
date now parses military time zones in accordance with common usage:
"A" to "M" are equivalent to UTC+1 to UTC+12
"N" to "Y" are equivalent to UTC-1 to UTC-12
"Z" is "zulu" time (UTC).
For example, 'date -d "09:00B" is now equivalent to 9am in UTC+2 time zone.
Previously, military time zones were parsed according to the obsolete
rfc822, with their value negated (e.g., "B" was equivalent to UTC-2).
[The old behavior was introduced in sh-utils 2.0.15 ca. 1999, predating
coreutils package.]
ls issues an error message on a removed directory, on GNU/Linux systems.
Previously no error and no entries were output, and so indistinguishable
from an empty directory, with default ls options.
uniq no longer uses strcoll() to determine string equivalence,
and so will operate more efficiently and consistently.
** New Features
ls now supports the --time=birth option to display and sort by
file creation time, where available.
od --skip-bytes now can use lseek even if the input is not a regular
file, greatly improving performance in some cases.
stat(1) supports a new --cached= option, used on systems with statx(2)
to control cache coherency of file system attributes,
useful on network file systems.
** Improvements
stat and ls now use the statx() system call where available, which can
operate more efficiently by only retrieving requested attributes.
stat and tail now know about the "binderfs", "dma-buf-fs", "erofs",
"ppc-cmm-fs", and "z3fold" file systems.
stat -f -c%T now reports the file system type, and tail -f uses inotify.

- Update to 8.31:
* Noteworthy changes in release 8.31 (2019-03-10) [stable]
** Bug fixes
'base64 a b' now correctly diagnoses 'b' as the extra operand, not 'a'.
[bug introduced in coreutils-5.3.0]
When B already exists, 'cp -il A B' no longer immediately fails
after asking the user whether to proceed.
[This bug was present in "the beginning".]
df no longer corrupts displayed multibyte characters on macOS.
[bug introduced with coreutils-8.18]
seq no longer outputs inconsistent decimal point characters
for the last number, when locales are misconfigured.
[bug introduced in coreutils-7.0]
shred, sort, and split no longer falsely report ftruncate errors
when outputting to less-common file types. For example, the shell
command 'sort /dev/null -o /dev/stdout | cat' no longer fails with
an "error truncating" diagnostic.
[bug was introduced with coreutils-8.18 for sort and split, and
(for shared memory objects only) with fileutils-4.1 for shred]
sync no longer fails for write-only file arguments.
[bug introduced with argument support to sync in coreutils-8.24]
'tail -f file | filter' no longer exits immediately on AIX.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.28]
'tail -f file | filter' no longer goes into an infinite loop
if filter exits and SIGPIPE is ignored.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.28]
** Changes in behavior
cksum, dd, hostid, hostname, link, logname, sleep, tsort, unlink,
uptime, users, whoami, yes: now always process --help and --version options,
regardless of any other arguments present before any optional '--'
end-of-options marker.
nohup now processes --help and --version as first options even if other
parameters follow.
'yes a -- b' now outputs 'a b' instead of including the end-of-options
marker as before: 'a -- b'.
echo now always processes backslash escapes when the POSIXLY_CORRECT
environment variable is set.
When possible 'ln A B' now merely links A to B and reports an error
if this fails, instead of statting A and B before linking. This
uses fewer system calls and avoids some races. The old statting
approach is still used in situations where hard links to directories
are allowed (e.g., NetBSD when superuser).
ls --group-directories-first will also group symlinks to directories.
'test -a FILE' is not supported anymore. Long ago, there were concerns about
the high probability of humans confusing the -a primary with the -a binary
operator, so POSIX changed this to 'test -e FILE'. Scripts using it were
already broken and non-portable; the -a unary operator was never documented.
wc now treats non breaking space characters as word delimiters
unless the POSIXLY_CORRECT environment variable is set.
** New features
id now supports specifying multiple users.
'date' now supports the '+' conversion specification flag,
introduced in POSIX.1-2017.
printf, seq, sleep, tail, and timeout now accept floating point
numbers in either the current or the C locale. For example, if the
current locale's decimal point is ',', 'sleep 0,1' and 'sleep 0.1'
now mean the same thing. Previously, these commands accepted only
C-locale syntax with '.' as the decimal point. The new behavior is
more compatible with other implementations in non-C locales.
test now supports the '-N FILE' unary operator (like e.g. bash) to check
whether FILE exists and has been modified since it was last read.
env now supports '--default-signal[=SIG]', '--ignore-signal[=SIG]', and
'--block-signal[=SIG], to setup signal handling before executing a program.
env now supports '--list-signal-handling' to indicate non-default
signal handling before executing a program.
** New commands
basenc is added to complement existing base64,base32 commands,
and encodes and decodes printable text using various common encodings:
base64,base64url,base32,base32hex,base16,base2,z85.
** Improvements
ls -l now better aligns abbreviated months containing digits,
which is common in Asian locales.
stat and tail now know about the "sdcardfs" file system on Android.
stat -f -c%T now reports the file system type, and tail -f uses inotify.
stat now prints file creation time when supported by the file system,
on GNU Linux systems with glibc >= 2.28 and kernel >= 4.11.

- Update to 8.30:
* Noteworthy changes in release 8.30 (2018-07-01) [stable]
** Bug fixes
'cp --symlink SRC DST' will again correctly validate DST.
If DST is a regular file and SRC is a symlink to DST,
then cp will no longer allow that operation to clobber DST.
Also with -d, if DST is a symlink, then it can always be replaced,
even if it points to SRC on a separate device.
[bugs introduced with coreutils-8.27]
'cp -n -u' and 'mv -n -u' now consistently ignore the -u option.
Previously, this option combination suffered from race conditions
that caused -u to sometimes override -n.
[bug introduced with coreutils-7.1]
'cp -a --no-preserve=mode' now sets appropriate default permissions
for non regular files like fifos and character device nodes etc.,
and leaves mode bits of existing files unchanged.
Previously it would have set executable bits on created special files,
and set mode bits for existing files as if they had been created.
[bug introduced with coreutils-8.20]
'cp --remove-destination file symlink' now removes the symlink
even if it can't be traversed.
[bug introduced with --remove-destination in fileutils-4.1.1]
ls no longer truncates the abbreviated month names that have a
display width between 6 and 12 inclusive. Previously this would have
output ambiguous months for Arabic or Catalan locales.
'ls -aA' is now equivalent to 'ls -A', since -A now overrides -a.
[bug introduced in coreutils-5.3.0]
'mv -n A B' no longer suffers from a race condition that can
overwrite a simultaneously-created B. This bug fix requires
platform support for the renameat2 or renameatx_np syscalls, found
in recent Linux and macOS kernels. As a side effect, ‘mv -n A A’
now silently does nothing if A exists.
[bug introduced with coreutils-7.1]
** Changes in behavior
'cp --force file symlink' now removes the symlink even if
it is self referential.
ls --color now matches file extensions case insensitively.
** New features
cp --reflink now supports --reflink=never to enforce a standard copy.
env supports a new -v/--debug option to show verbose information about
each processing step.
env supports a new -S/--split-string=S option to split a single argument
string into multiple arguments. Used to pass multiple arguments in scripts
(shebang lines).
md5sum accepts a new option: --zero (-z) to delimit the output lines with a
NUL instead of a newline character. This also disables file name escaping.
This also applies to sha*sum and b2sum.
rm --preserve-root now supports the --preserve-root=all option to
reject any command line argument that is mounted to a separate file system.
** Improvements
cut supports line lengths up to the max file size on 32 bit systems.
Previously only offsets up to SIZE_MAX-1 were supported.
stat and tail now know about the "exfs" file system, which is a
version of XFS. stat -f --format=%T now reports the file system type,
and tail -f uses inotify.
wc avoids redundant processing of ASCII text in multibyte locales,
which is especially significant on macOS.

* Noteworthy changes in release 8.29 (2017-12-27) [stable]
** Bug fixes
b2sum no longer crashes when processing certain truncated check files.
[bug introduced with b2sum coreutils-8.26]
dd now ensures the correct cache ranges are specified for the "nocache"
and "direct" flags. Previously some pages in the page cache were not
invalidated. [bug introduced for "direct" in coreutils-7.5,
and with the "nocache" implementation in coreutils-8.11]
df no longer hangs when given a fifo argument.
[bug introduced in coreutils-7.3]
ptx -S no longer infloops for a pattern which returns zero-length matches.
[the bug dates back to the initial implementation]
shred --remove will again repeatedly rename files with shortening names
to attempt to hide the original length of the file name.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.28]
stty no longer crashes when processing settings with -F also specified.
[bug introduced in fileutils-4.0]
tail --bytes again supports non seekable inputs on all systems.
On systems like android it always tried to process as seekable inputs.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.24]
timeout will again notice its managed command exiting, even when
invoked with blocked CHLD signal, or in a narrow window where
this CHLD signal from the exiting child was missed. In each case
timeout would have then waited for the time limit to expire.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.27]
** New features
timeout now supports the --verbose option to diagnose forced termination.
** Improvements
dd now supports iflag=direct with arbitrary sized files on all file systems.
tail --bytes=NUM will efficiently seek to the end of block devices,
rather than reading from the start.
Utilities which do not support long options (other than the default --help
and --version), e.g. cksum and sleep, now use more consistent error diagnostic
for unknown long options.
** Build-related
Default man pages are now distributed which are used if perl is
not available on the build system, or when cross compiling.

Thu Jul 9 15:12:10 CEST 2015 - pth@suse.de
- Update to 8.24:
** Bug fixes
* dd supports more robust SIGINFO/SIGUSR1 handling for outputting statistics.
Previously those signals may have inadvertently terminated the process.
* df --local no longer hangs with inaccessible remote mounts.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.21]
* du now silently ignores all directory cycles due to bind mounts.
Previously it would issue a warning and exit with a failure status.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.1 and partially fixed in coreutils-8.23]
* chroot again calls chroot(DIR) and chdir("/"), even if DIR is "/".
This handles separate bind mounted "/" trees, and environments
depending on the implicit chdir("/").
[bugs introduced in coreutils-8.23]
* cp no longer issues an incorrect warning about directory hardlinks when a
source directory is specified multiple times. Now, consistent with other
file types, a warning is issued for source directories with duplicate names,
or with -H the directory is copied again using the symlink name.
* factor avoids writing partial lines, thus supporting parallel operation.
[the bug dates back to the initial implementation]
* head, od, split, tac, tail, and wc no longer mishandle input from files in
/proc and /sys file systems that report somewhat-incorrect file sizes.
* mkdir --parents -Z now correctly sets the context for the last component,
even if the parent directory exists and has a different default context.
[bug introduced with the -Z restorecon functionality in coreutils-8.22]
* numfmt no longer outputs incorrect overflowed values seen with certain
large numbers, or with numbers with increased precision.
[bug introduced when numfmt was added in coreutils-8.21]
* numfmt now handles leading zeros correctly, not counting them when
settings processing limits, and making them optional with floating point.
[bug introduced when numfmt was added in coreutils-8.21]
* paste no longer truncates output for large input files. This would happen
for example with files larger than 4GiB on 32 bit systems with a '\n'
character at the 4GiB position.
[the bug dates back to the initial implementation]
* rm indicates the correct number of arguments in its confirmation prompt,
on all platforms. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.22]
* shuf -i with a single redundant operand, would crash instead of issuing
a diagnostic. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.22]
* tail releases inotify resources when unused. Previously it could exhaust
resources with many files, or with -F if files were replaced many times.
[bug introduced in coreutils-7.5]
* tail -f again follows changes to a file after it's renamed.
[bug introduced in coreutils-7.5]
* tail --follow no longer misses changes to files if those files were
replaced before inotify watches were created.
[bug introduced in coreutils-7.5]
* tail --follow consistently outputs all data for a truncated file.
[bug introduced in the beginning]
* tail --follow=name correctly outputs headers for multiple files
when those files are being created or renamed.
[bug introduced in coreutils-7.5]
** New features
* chroot accepts the new --skip-chdir option to not change the working directory
to "/" after changing into the chroot(2) jail, thus retaining the current wor-
king directory. The new option is only permitted if the new root directory is
the old "/", and therefore is useful with the --group and --userspec options.
* dd accepts a new status=progress level to print data transfer statistics
on stderr approximately every second.
* numfmt can now process multiple fields with field range specifications similar
to cut, and supports setting the output precision with the --format option.
* split accepts a new --separator option to select a record separator character
other than the default newline character.
* stty allows setting the "extproc" option where supported, which is
a useful setting with high latency links.
* sync no longer ignores arguments, and syncs each specified file, or with the
--file-system option, the file systems associated with each specified file.
* tee accepts a new --output-error option to control operation with pipes
and output errors in general.
** Changes in behavior
* df no longer suppresses separate exports of the same remote device, as
these are generally explicitly mounted. The --total option does still
suppress duplicate remote file systems.
[suppression was introduced in coreutils-8.21]
* mv no longer supports moving a file to a hardlink, instead issuing an error.
The implementation was susceptible to races in the presence of multiple mv
instances, which could result in both hardlinks being deleted. Also on case
insensitive file systems like HFS, mv would just remove a hardlinked 'file'
if called like `mv file File`. The feature was added in coreutils-5.0.1.
* numfmt --from-unit and --to-unit options now interpret suffixes as SI units,
and IEC (power of 2) units are now specified by appending 'i'.
* tee will exit early if there are no more writable outputs.
* tee does not treat the file operand '-' as meaning standard output any longer,
for better conformance to POSIX. This feature was added in coreutils-5.3.0.
* timeout --foreground no longer sends SIGCONT to the monitored process,
which was seen to cause intermittent issues with GDB for example.
** Improvements
* cp,install,mv will convert smaller runs of NULs in the input to holes,
and cp --sparse=always avoids speculative preallocation on XFS for example.
* cp will read sparse files more efficiently when the destination is a
non regular file. For example when copying a disk image to a device node.
* mv will try a reflink before falling back to a standard copy, which is
more efficient when moving files across BTRFS subvolume boundaries.
* stat and tail now know about IBRIX. stat -f --format=%T now reports the file
system type, and tail -f uses polling for files on IBRIX file systems.
* wc -l processes short lines much more efficiently.
* References from --help and the man pages of utilities have been corrected
in various cases, and more direct links to the corresponding online
documentation are provided.

- Update to 8.23 (2014-07-18) [stable]
** Bug fixes
chmod -Rc no longer issues erroneous warnings for files with special bits set.
[bug introduced in coreutils-6.0]
cp -a, mv, and install --preserve-context, once again set the correct SELinux
context for existing directories in the destination. Previously they set
the context of an existing directory to that of its last copied descendent.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.22]
cp -a, mv, and install --preserve-context, no longer seg fault when running
with SELinux enabled, when copying from file systems that return an error
when reading the SELinux context for a file.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.22]
cp -a and mv now preserve xattrs of symlinks copied across file systems.
[bug introduced with extended attribute preservation feature in coreutils-7.1]
date could crash or go into an infinite loop when parsing a malformed TZ="".
[bug introduced with the --date='TZ="" ..' parsing feature in coreutils-5.3.0]
dd's ASCII and EBCDIC conversions were incompatible with common practice and
with POSIX, and have been corrected as follows. First, conv=ascii now
implies conv=unblock, and conv=ebcdic and conv=ibm now imply conv=block.
Second, the translation tables for dd conv=ascii and conv=ebcdic have been
corrected as shown in the following table, where A is the ASCII value, W is
the old, wrong EBCDIC value, and E is the new, corrected EBCDIC value; all
values are in octal.
A W E
041 117 132
133 112 255
135 132 275
136 137 232
174 152 117
176 241 137
313 232 152
325 255 112
345 275 241
[These dd bugs were present in "the beginning".]
df has more fixes related to the newer dynamic representation of file systems:
Duplicates are elided for virtual file systems like tmpfs.
Details for the correct device are output for points mounted multiple times.
Placeholder values are output for inaccessible file systems, rather than
than error messages or values for the wrong file system.
[These bugs were present in "the beginning".]
df now outputs all appropriate entries in the presence of bind mounts.
On some systems, entries would have been incorrectly elided due to
them being considered "dummy" mounts.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.22]
du now silently ignores directory cycles introduced with bind mounts.
Previously it would issue a warning and exit with a failure status.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.1]
head --bytes=-N and --lines=-N now handles devices more
consistently, not ignoring data from virtual devices like /dev/zero,
or on BSD systems data from tty devices.
[bug introduced in coreutils-5.0.1]
head --bytes=-N - no longer fails with a bogus diagnostic when stdin's
seek pointer is not at the beginning.
[bug introduced with the --bytes=-N feature in coreutils-5.0.1]
head --lines=-0, when the input does not contain a trailing '\n',
now copies all input to stdout. Previously nothing was output in this case.
[bug introduced with the --lines=-N feature in coreutils-5.0.1]
id, when invoked with no user name argument, now prints the correct group ID.
Previously, in the default output format, it would print the default group ID
in the password database, which may be neither real nor effective. For e.g.,
when run set-GID, or when the database changes outside the current session.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.1]
ln -sf now replaces symbolic links whose targets can't exist. Previously
it would display an error, requiring --no-dereference to avoid the issue.
[bug introduced in coreutils-5.3.0]
ln -sr '' F no longer segfaults. Now works as expected.
[bug introduced with the --relative feature in coreutils-8.16]
numfmt now handles blanks correctly in all unibyte locales. Previously
in locales where character 0xA0 is a blank, numfmt would mishandle it.
[bug introduced when numfmt was added in coreutils-8.21]
ptx --format long option parsing no longer falls through into the --help case.
[bug introduced in TEXTUTILS-1_22i]
ptx now consistently trims whitespace when processing multiple files.
[This bug was present in "the beginning".]
seq again generates correct output with start or end values = -0.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.20.]
shuf --repeat no longer dumps core if the input is empty.
[bug introduced with the --repeat feature in coreutils-8.22]
sort when using multiple threads now avoids undefined behavior with mutex
destruction, which could cause deadlocks on some implementations.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.6]
tail -f now uses polling mode for VXFS to cater for its clustered mode.
[bug introduced with inotify support added in coreutils-7.5]
** New features
od accepts a new option: --endian=TYPE to handle inputs with different byte
orders, or to provide consistent output on systems with disparate endianness.
configure accepts the new option --enable-single-binary to build all the
selected programs in a single binary called "coreutils". The selected
programs can still be called directly using symlinks to "coreutils" or
shebangs with the option --coreutils-prog= passed to this program. The
install behavior is determined by the option --enable-single-binary=symlinks
or --enable-single-binary=shebangs (the default). With the symlinks option,
you can't make a second symlink to any program because that will change the
name of the called program, which is used by coreutils to determine the
desired program. The shebangs option doesn't suffer from this problem, but
the /proc/$pid/cmdline file might not be updated on all the platforms. The
functionality of each program is not affected but this single binary will
depend on all the required dynamic libraries even to run simple programs.
If you desire to build some tools outside the single binary file, you can
pass the option --enable-single-binary-exceptions=PROG_LIST with the comma
separated list of programs you want to build separately. This flag
considerably reduces the overall size of the installed binaries which makes
it suitable for embedded system.
** Changes in behavior
chroot with an argument of "/" no longer implicitly changes the current
directory to "/", allowing changing only user credentials for a command.
chroot --userspec will now unset supplemental groups associated with root,
and instead use the supplemental groups of the specified user.
cut -d$'\n' again outputs lines identified in the --fields list, having
not done so in v8.21 and v8.22. Note using this non portable functionality
will result in the delayed output of lines.
ls with none of LS_COLORS or COLORTERM environment variables set,
will now honor an empty or unknown TERM environment variable,
and not output colors even with --colors=always.
** Improvements
chroot has better --userspec and --group look-ups, with numeric IDs never
causing name look-up errors. Also look-ups are first done outside the chroot,
in case the look-up within the chroot fails due to library conflicts etc.
install now allows the combination of the -D and -t options.
numfmt supports zero padding of numbers using the standard printf
syntax of a leading zero, for example --format="%010f".
Also throughput was improved by up to 800% by avoiding redundant processing.
shred now supports multiple passes on GNU/Linux tape devices by rewinding
the tape before each pass, avoids redundant writes to empty files,
uses direct I/O for all passes where possible, and attempts to clear
inode storage used for small files on some file systems.
split avoids unnecessary input buffering, immediately writing input to output
which is significant with --filter or when writing to fifos or stdout etc.
stat and tail work better with HFS+, HFSX, LogFS and ConfigFS. stat -f
--format=%T now reports the file system type, and tail -f now uses inotify,
rather than the default of issuing a warning and reverting to polling.

** Bug fixes
df now processes the mount list correctly in the presence of unstatable
mount points. Previously it may have failed to output some mount points.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.21]
df now processes symbolic links and relative paths to special files containing
a mounted file system correctly. Previously df displayed the statistics about
the file system the file is stored on rather than the one inside.
[This bug was present in "the beginning".]
df now processes disk device nodes correctly in the presence of bind mounts.
Now df shows the base mounted file system rather than the last one mounted.
[This bug was present in "the beginning".]
install now removes the target file if the strip program failed for any
reason. Before, that file was left behind, sometimes even with wrong
permissions.
[This bug was present in "the beginning".]
ln --relative now updates existing symlinks correctly. Previously it based
the relative link on the dereferenced path of an existing link.
[This bug was introduced when --relative was added in coreutils-8.16.]
ls --recursive will no longer exit with "serious" exit code (2), if there
is an error reading a directory not specified on the command line.
[Bug introduced in coreutils-5.3.0]
mkdir, mkfifo, and mknod now work better when creating a file in a directory
with a default ACL whose umask disagrees with the process's umask, on a
system such as GNU/Linux where directory ACL umasks override process umasks.
[bug introduced in coreutils-6.0]
mv will now replace empty directories in the destination with directories
from the source, when copying across file systems.
[This bug was present in "the beginning".]
od -wN with N larger than 64K on a system with 32-bit size_t would
print approximately 2*N bytes of extraneous padding.
[Bug introduced in coreutils-7.0]
rm -I now prompts for confirmation before removing a write protected file.
[Bug introduced in coreutils-6.8]
shred once again uses direct I/O on systems requiring aligned buffers.
Also direct I/O failures for odd sized writes at end of file are now handled.
[The "last write" bug was introduced in coreutils-5.3.0 but masked
by the alignment bug introduced in coreutils-6.0]
tail --retry -f now waits for the files specified to appear. Before, tail
would immediately exit when such a file is initially inaccessible.
[This bug was introduced when inotify support was added in coreutils-7.5]
tail -F has improved handling of symlinks. Previously tail didn't respond
to the symlink target (re)appearing after being (re)created.
[This bug was introduced when inotify support was added in coreutils-7.5]
** New features
cp, install, mkdir, mknod, mkfifo and mv now support "restorecon"
functionality through the -Z option, to set the SELinux context
appropriate for the new item location in the file system.
csplit accepts a new option: --suppressed-matched, to elide the lines
used to identify the split points.
df --output now accepts a 'file' field, to propagate a specified
command line argument through to the output.
du accepts a new option: --inodes to show the number of inodes instead
of the blocks used.
id accepts a new option: --zero (-z) to delimit the output entries by
a NUL instead of a white space character.
id and ls with -Z report the SMACK security context where available.
mkdir, mkfifo and mknod with -Z set the SMACK context where available.
id can now lookup by user ID, in addition to the existing name lookup.
join accepts a new option: --zero-terminated (-z). As with the sort,uniq
option of the same name, this makes join consume and produce NUL-terminated
lines rather than newline-terminated lines.
uniq accepts a new option: --group to print all items, while separating
unique groups with empty lines.
shred accepts new parameters to the --remove option to give greater
control over that operation, which can greatly reduce sync overhead.
shuf accepts a new option: --repeat (-r), which can repeat items in
the output.
** Changes in behavior
cp --link now dereferences a symbolic link as source before creating the
hard link in the destination unless the -P,--no-deref option is specified.
Previously, it would create a hard link of the symbolic link, even when
the dereferencing options -L or -H were specified.
cp, install, mkdir, mknod and mkfifo no longer accept an argument to the
short -Z option. The --context equivalent still takes an optional argument.
dd status=none now suppresses all non fatal diagnostic messages,
not just the transfer counts.
df no longer accepts the long-obsolescent --megabytes option.
stdbuf now requires at least one buffering mode option to be specified,
as per the documented interface.
** Improvements
base64 encoding throughput for bulk data is increased by about 60%.
md5sum can use libcrypto hash routines where allowed to potentially
get better performance through using more system specific logic.
sha1sum for example has improved throughput by 40% on an i3-2310M.
This also affects sha1sum, sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum and sha512sum.
stat and tail work better with EFIVARFS, EXOFS, F2FS, HOSTFS, SMACKFS, SNFS
and UBIFS. stat -f --format=%T now reports the file system type, and tail -f
now uses inotify for files on all those except SNFS, rather than the default
(for unknown file system types) of issuing a warning and reverting to polling.
shuf outputs subsets of large inputs much more efficiently.
Reservoir sampling is used to limit memory usage based on the number of
outputs, rather than the number of inputs.
shred increases the default write block size from 12KiB to 64KiB
to align with other utilities and reduce the system call overhead.
split --line-bytes=SIZE, now only allocates memory as needed rather
than allocating SIZE bytes at program start.
stty now supports configuring "stick" (mark/space) parity where available.
** Build-related
factor now builds on aarch64 based systems [bug introduced in coreutils-8.20]

- Update I18N patch from Fedora:
(coreutils-i18n.patch)
* sort: fix multibyte incompabilities (rh#821264)
* pr -e, with a mix of backspaces and TABs, could corrupt the
heap in multibyte locales (analyzed by J.Koncicky)
* path in the testsuite to cover i18n regressions
* Enable cut and sort-merge perl tests for multibyte as well
- Refresh longlong-aarch64.patch.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Aug 7 08:10:22 UTC 2013 - mail@bernhard-voelker.de

Tue Aug 6 14:02:42 CEST 2013 - pth@suse.de
- Remove the the unnecessary povision of itself as rpmbuild takes
care of that.

the spec file.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Jul 23 13:22:21 UTC 2013 - mail@bernhard-voelker.de
- Undo the previous change.
Remove configure options gl_cv_func_printf_directive_n and
gl_cv_func_printf_infinite_long_double again because of constant
factory build failures on x86_64 and i586. The argument for
adding them was that the fortify checks would be bypassed
by the gnulib "reimplementation of printf", but that is not
the case: instead, gnulib just adds some wrapping code to ensure
a consistent behaviour on all supported platforms.

- Fix multibyte issue in unexpand (rh#821262)
(coreutils-i18n.patch: patch by Roman Kollár <rkollar@redhat.com>)
- Fix cut to terminate mbdelim string
Otherwise, cut might do an unbounded strdup of the delimiter string
in i18n mode (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=911929)
(coreutils-i18n.patch, from Mark Wielaard <mjw@redhat.com>)
- Add su(1) again
Now, su(1) will be provided via a symlink trick
to the file installed with a ".core" suffix.
By this, we can upgrade to 8.21 without having to wait
for a util-linux version providing it.
* coreutils-su.patch: Add cumulative su patch from previous Base:System
version 8.17, ported to 8.21 build structure. This supersedes the
following partial patches:
coreutils-8.6-compile-su-with-fpie.diff,
coreutils-8.6-honor-settings-in-etc-default-su-resp-etc-login.defs.diff,
coreutils-8.6-log-all-su-attempts.diff,
coreutils-8.6-make-sure-sbin-resp-usr-sbin-are-in-PATH.diff,
coreutils-8.6-pam-support-for-su.diff,
coreutils-8.6-set-sane-default-path.diff,
coreutils-8.6-update-man-page-for-pam.diff,
coreutils-bnc#697897-setsid.patch.
* pam, pam-devel: Add as requirements, also during build.
* coreutils.spec (%description): Clarify that su is included although removed
upstreams.
(%install): Install su+kill files with suffix ".core".
(%post): Move setting permissions on su from %posttrans to %install.
(%posttrans): Create symlinks to files with ".core" suffix unless already
existing.
- Install kill(1) with the same symlink trick.
- Remove now-obsolete patches and files:
* coreutils-8.17.de.po.xz:
* coreutils-8.17.tar.xz:
Remove sources + translation of previous version
* coreutils-acl-nofollow.patch:

Add tarball of the new upstream version
* coreutils-8.21.de.po.xz:
Add language file.
- Update patches:
* coreutils-i18n.patch
Merge some Fedora changes to keep the i18n patch like theirs.
Fix and cleanup sort's multibyte test with incorporated test data.

* Remove the --without-included-regex option to use
coreutils' regex implementation.
* Remove custom gl_cv_func_printf_directive_n and gl_cv_func_isnanl_works.
* Touch "man/*.x" to force the rebuild of the man pages.
* Make sort's multi-byte test script executable in %check section.

Furthermore, fix the path to the LC_TIME files.
* Change package description to accomodate to added programs
(hostid, nproc, realpath, stdbuf, truncate)
and mention the hacky installation of programs to move (kill, su).
- Update to 8.21 (2013-02-14) [stable]
** New programs
numfmt: reformat numbers
** New features
df now accepts the --output[=FIELD_LIST] option to define the list of columns
to include in the output, or all available columns if the FIELD_LIST is
omitted. Note this enables df to output both block and inode fields together.
du now accepts the --threshold=SIZE option to restrict the output to entries
with such a minimum SIZE (or a maximum SIZE if it is negative).
du recognizes -t SIZE as equivalent, for compatibility with FreeBSD.
** Bug fixes
cp --no-preserve=mode now no longer exits non-zero.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.20]
cut with a range like "N-" no longer allocates N/8 bytes. That buffer
would never be used, and allocation failure could cause cut to fail.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.10]
cut no longer accepts the invalid range 0-, which made it print empty lines.
Instead, cut now fails and emits an appropriate diagnostic.
[This bug was present in "the beginning".]
cut now handles overlapping to-EOL ranges properly. Before, it would
interpret "-b2-,3-" like "-b3-". Now it's treated like "-b2-".
[This bug was present in "the beginning".]
cut no longer prints extraneous delimiters when a to-EOL range subsumes
another range. Before, "echo 123|cut --output-delim=: -b2-,3" would print
"2:3". Now it prints "23". [bug introduced in 5.3.0]
cut -f no longer inspects input line N+1 before fully outputting line N,
which avoids delayed output for intermittent input.
[bug introduced in TEXTUTILS-1_8b]
factor no longer loops infinitely on 32 bit powerpc or sparc systems.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.20]
install -m M SOURCE DEST no longer has a race condition where DEST's
permissions are temporarily derived from SOURCE instead of from M.
pr -n no longer crashes when passed values >= 32. Also, line numbers are
consistently padded with spaces, rather than with zeros for certain widths.
[bug introduced in TEXTUTILS-1_22i]
seq -w ensures that for numbers input in scientific notation,
the output numbers are properly aligned and of the correct width.
[This bug was present in "the beginning".]
seq -w ensures correct alignment when the step value includes a precision
while the start value does not, and the number sequence narrows.
[This bug was present in "the beginning".]
seq -s no longer prints an erroneous newline after the first number, and
outputs a newline after the last number rather than a trailing separator.
Also seq no longer ignores a specified step value when the end value is 1.
[bugs introduced in coreutils-8.20]
timeout now ensures that blocking of ALRM signals is not inherited from
its parent, which would cause timeouts to be ignored.
[the bug dates back to the initial implementation]
** Changes in behavior
df --total now prints '-' into the target column (mount point) of the
summary line, accommodating the --output option where the target field
can be in any column. If there is no source column, then df prints
'total' in the target column.
df now properly outputs file system information with bind mounts present on
the system by skipping duplicate entries (identified by the device number).
Consequently, df also elides the early-boot pseudo file system type "rootfs".
nl no longer supports the --page-increment option, which has been
deprecated since coreutils-7.5. Use --line-increment instead.
** Improvements
readlink now supports multiple arguments, and a complementary
-z, --zero option to delimit output items with the NUL character.
stat and tail now know about CEPH. stat -f --format=%T now reports the file
system type, and tail -f uses polling for files on CEPH file systems.
stty now supports configuring DTR/DSR hardware flow control where available.
** Build-related
Perl is now more of a prerequisite. It has long been required in order
to run (not skip) a significant percentage of the tests. Now, it is
also required in order to generate proper man pages, via help2man. The
generated man/*.1 man pages are no longer distributed. Building without
perl, you would create stub man pages. Thus, while perl is not an
official prerequisite (build and "make check" will still succeed), any
resulting man pages would be inferior. In addition, this fixes a bug
in distributed (not from clone) Makefile.in that could cause parallel
build failure when building from modified sources, as is common practice
for a patched distribution package.
factor now builds on x86_64 with x32 ABI, 32 bit MIPS, and all HPPA systems,
by avoiding incompatible asm. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.20]
A root-only test predicate would always fail. Its job was to determine
whether our dummy user, $NON_ROOT_USERNAME, was able to run binaries from
the build directory. As a result, all dependent tests were always skipped.
Now, those tests may be run once again. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.20]
- Update to 8.20 (2012-10-23) [stable]
** New features
dd now accepts 'status=none' to suppress all informational output.
md5sum now accepts the --tag option to print BSD-style output with GNU
file name escaping. This also affects sha1sum, sha224sum, sha256sum,
sha384sum and sha512sum.
** Bug fixes
cp could read from freed memory and could even make corrupt copies.
This could happen with a very fragmented and sparse input file,
on GNU/Linux file systems supporting fiemap extent scanning.
This bug also affects mv when it resorts to copying, and install.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.11]
cp --no-preserve=mode now no longer preserves the original file's
permissions but correctly sets mode specified by 0666 & ~umask
du no longer emits a "disk-corrupted"-style diagnostic when it detects
a directory cycle that is due to a bind-mounted directory. Instead,
it detects this precise type of cycle, diagnoses it as such and
eventually exits nonzero.
factor (when using gmp) would mistakenly declare some composite numbers
to be prime, e.g., 465658903, 2242724851, 6635692801 and many more.
The fix makes factor somewhat slower (~25%) for ranges of consecutive
numbers, and up to 8 times slower for some worst-case individual numbers.
[bug introduced in coreutils-7.0, with GNU MP support]
ls now correctly colors dangling symlinks when listing their containing
directories, with orphaned symlink coloring disabled in LS_COLORS.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.14]
rm -i -d now prompts the user then removes an empty directory, rather
than ignoring the -d option and failing with an 'Is a directory' error.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.19, with the addition of --dir (-d)]
rm -r S/ (where S is a symlink-to-directory) no longer gives the invalid
"Too many levels of symbolic links" diagnostic.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.6]
seq now handles arbitrarily long non-negative whole numbers when the
increment is 1 and when no format-changing option is specified.
Before, this would infloop:
b=100000000000000000000; seq $b $b
[the bug dates back to the initial implementation]
** Changes in behavior
nproc now diagnoses with an error, non option command line parameters.
** Improvements
factor's core has been rewritten for speed and increased range.
It can now factor numbers up to 2^128, even without GMP support.
Its speed is from a few times better (for small numbers) to over
10,000 times better (just below 2^64). The new code also runs a
deterministic primality test for each prime factor, not just a
probabilistic test.
seq is now up to 70 times faster than it was in coreutils-8.19 and prior,
but only with non-negative whole numbers, an increment of 1, and no
format-changing options.
stat and tail know about ZFS, VZFS and VMHGFS. stat -f --format=%T now
reports the file system type, and tail -f now uses inotify for files on
ZFS and VZFS file systems, rather than the default (for unknown file
system types) of issuing a warning and reverting to polling. tail -f
still uses polling for files on VMHGFS file systems.
** Build-related
root-only tests now check for permissions of our dummy user,
$NON_ROOT_USERNAME, before trying to run binaries from the build directory.
Before, we would get hard-to-diagnose reports of failing root-only tests.
Now, those tests are skipped with a useful diagnostic when the root tests
are run without following the instructions in README.
We now build most directories using non-recursive make rules. I.e.,
rather than running make in man/, lib/, src/, tests/, instead, the top
level Makefile.am includes a $dir/local.mk that describes how to build
the targets in the corresponding directory. Two directories remain
unconverted: po/, gnulib-tests/. One nice side-effect is that the more
accurate dependencies have eliminated a nagging occasional failure that
was seen when running parallel "make syntax-check".
- Update to 8.19 (2012-08-20) [stable]
** Bug fixes
df now fails when the list of mounted file systems (/etc/mtab) cannot
be read, yet the file system type information is needed to process
certain options like -a, -l, -t and -x.
[This bug was present in "the beginning".]
sort -u could fail to output one or more result lines.
For example, this command would fail to print "1":
(yes 7 | head -11; echo 1) | sort --p=1 -S32b -u
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.6]
sort -u could read freed memory.
For example, this evokes a read from freed memory:
perl -le 'print "a\n"."0"x900'|valgrind sort --p=1 -S32b -u>/dev/null
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.6]
** New features
rm now accepts the --dir (-d) option which makes it remove empty directories.
Since removing empty directories is relatively safe, this option can be
used as a part of the alias rm='rm --dir'. This improves compatibility
with Mac OS X and BSD systems which also honor the -d option.
- Update to 8.18 (2012-08-12) [stable]
** Bug fixes
cksum now prints checksums atomically so that concurrent
processes will not intersperse their output.
[the bug dates back to the initial implementation]
date -d "$(printf '\xb0')" would print 00:00:00 with today's date
rather than diagnosing the invalid input. Now it reports this:
date: invalid date '\260'
[This bug was present in "the beginning".]
df no longer outputs control characters present in the mount point name.
Such characters are replaced with '?', so for example, scripts consuming
lines output by df, can work reliably.
[This bug was present in "the beginning".]
df --total now exits with an appropriate diagnostic and error code, when
file system --type options do not lead to a processed file system.
[This bug dates back to when --total was added in coreutils-7.0]
head --lines=-N (-n-N) now resets the read pointer of a seekable input file.
This means that "head -n-3" no longer consumes all of its input, and lines
not output by head may be processed by other programs. For example, this
command now prints the final line, 2, while before it would print nothing:
seq 2 > k; (head -n-1 > /dev/null; cat) < k
[This bug was present in "the beginning".]
ls --color would mis-color relative-named symlinks in /
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.17]
split now ensures it doesn't overwrite the input file with generated output.
[the bug dates back to the initial implementation]
stat and df now report the correct file system usage,
in all situations on GNU/Linux, by correctly determining the block size.
[df bug since coreutils-5.0.91, stat bug since the initial implementation]
tail -f no longer tries to use inotify on AUFS or PanFS file systems
[you might say this was introduced in coreutils-7.5, along with inotify
support, but even now, its magic number isn't in the usual place.]
** New features
stat -f recognizes the new remote file system types: aufs, panfs.
** Changes in behavior
su: this program has been removed. We stopped installing "su" by
default with the release of coreutils-6.9.90 on 2007-12-01. Now,
that the util-linux package has the union of the Suse and Fedora
patches as well as enough support to build on the Hurd, we no longer
have any reason to include it here.
** Improvements
sort avoids redundant processing in the presence of inaccessible inputs,
or unwritable output. Sort now diagnoses certain errors at start-up,
rather than after potentially expensive processing.
sort now allocates no more than 75% of physical memory by default,
to better share system resources, and thus operate more efficiently.
[The default max memory usage changed from 50% to 100% in coreutils-8.16]

- Update to 8.17:
** Bug fixes
* stat no longer reports a negative file size as a huge positive
number. [bug present since 'stat' was introduced in
fileutils-4.1.9]
** New features
* split and truncate now allow any seekable files in situations
where the file size is needed, instead of insisting on regular
files.
* fmt now accepts the --goal=WIDTH (-g) option.
* stat -f recognizes new file system types: bdevfs, inodefs, qnx6
** Changes in behavior
* cp,mv,install,cat,split: now read and write a minimum of 64KiB at

- Two new upstream patches:
* id and groups, when invoked with no user name argument, would
print the default group ID listed in the password database, and
sometimes that ID would be neither real nor effective. For
example, when run set-GID, or in a session for which the default
group has just been changed, the new group ID would be listed,
even though it is not yet effective.
* 'cp S D' is no longer subject to a race: if an existing D were
removed between the initial stat and subsequent
open-without-O_CREAT, cp would fail with a confusing diagnostic
saying that the destination, D, was not found. Now, in this
unusual case, it retries the open (but with O_CREAT), and hence
usually succeeds. With NFS attribute caching, the condition was
particularly easy to trigger, since there, the removal of D could
precede the initial stat. [This bug was present in "the
beginning".] (bnc#760926).

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Apr 16 13:23:56 CEST 2012 - pth@suse.de
- Update to 8.16:
- Improvements:
* As a GNU extension, 'chmod', 'mkdir', and 'install' now accept
operators '-', '+', '=' followed by octal modes;
* Also, ordinary numeric modes with five or more digits no longer
preserve setuid and setgid bits, so that 'chmod 00755 FOO' now
clears FOO's setuid and setgid bits.
* dd now accepts the count_bytes, skip_bytes iflags and the
seek_bytes oflag, to more easily allow processing portions of a
file.
* dd now accepts the conv=sparse flag to attempt to create sparse
output, by seeking rather than writing to the output file.
* ln now accepts the --relative option, to generate a relative
symbolic link to a target, irrespective of how the target is
specified.
* split now accepts an optional "from" argument to
--numeric-suffixes, which changes the start number from the
default of 0.
* split now accepts the --additional-suffix option, to append an
additional static suffix to output file names.
* basename now supports the -a and -s options, which allow
processing of more than one argument at a time. Also the
complementary -z option was added to delimit output items with
the NUL character.
* dirname now supports more than one argument. Also the complementary
z option was added to delimit output items with the NUL character.
- Bug fixes
* du --one-file-system (-x) would ignore any non-directory
specified on the command line. For example, "touch f; du -x f"
would print nothing. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.15]
* mv now lets you move a symlink onto a same-inode destination
file that has two or more hard links.
* "mv A B" could succeed, yet A would remain.
* realpath no longer mishandles a root directory.
- Improvements
* ls can be much more efficient, especially with large directories
on file systems for which getfilecon-, ACL-check- and XATTR-
check-induced syscalls fail with ENOTSUP or similar.
* 'realpath --relative-base=dir' in isolation now implies
'--relative-to=dir' instead of causing a usage failure.
* split now supports an unlimited number of split files as default
behavior.
For a detaild list se NEWS in the documentation.
- Add up-to-date german translation.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Apr 16 12:00:34 CEST 2012 - pth@suse.de
- Add two upstream patches that speed up ls (bnc#752943):
* Cache (l)getfilecon calls to avoid the vast majority of the failing
underlying getxattr syscalls.
* Avoids always-failing queries for whether a file has a nontrivial
ACL and for whether a file has certain "capabilities".
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Mar 9 17:30:19 CET 2012 - pth@suse.de
- Update to 8.15:
** New programs
realpath: print resolved file names.
** Bug fixes
du --one-file-system (-x) would ignore any non-directory specified on
the command line. For example, "touch f; du -x f" would print nothing.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.14]
du -x no longer counts root directories of other file systems.
[bug introduced in coreutils-5.1.0]
ls --color many-entry-directory was uninterruptible for too long
[bug introduced in coreutils-5.2.1]
ls's -k option no longer affects how ls -l outputs file sizes.
It now affects only the per-directory block counts written by -l,
and the sizes written by -s. This is for compatibility with BSD
and with POSIX 2008. Because -k is no longer equivalent to
--block-size=1KiB, a new long option --kibibyte stands for -k.
[bug introduced in coreutils-4.5.4]
ls -l would leak a little memory (security context string) for each
nonempty directory listed on the command line, when using SELinux.
[bug probably introduced in coreutils-6.10 with SELinux support]
split -n 1/2 FILE no longer fails when operating on a growing file, or
(on some systems) when operating on a non-regular file like /dev/zero.
It would report "/dev/zero: No such file or directory" even though
the file obviously exists. Same for -n l/2.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.8, with the addition of the -n option]
stat -f now recognizes the FhGFS and PipeFS file system types.
tac no longer fails to handle two or more non-seekable inputs
[bug introduced in coreutils-5.3.0]
tail -f no longer tries to use inotify on GPFS or FhGFS file systems
[you might say this was introduced in coreutils-7.5, along with inotify
support, but the new magic numbers weren't in the usual places then.]
** Changes in behavior
df avoids long UUID-including file system names in the default listing.
With recent enough kernel/tools, these long names would be used, pushing
second and subsequent columns far to the right. Now, when a long name
refers to a symlink, and no file systems are specified, df prints the
usually-short referent instead.
tail -f now uses polling (not inotify) when any of its file arguments
resides on a file system of unknown type. In addition, for each such
argument, tail -f prints a warning with the FS type magic number and a
request to report it to the bug-reporting address.
- Bring german message catalog up to date.
- Include upstream fix for du.

Thu Oct 13 16:07:16 CEST 2011 - pth@suse.de
- Update to 8.14. Changes since 8.12:
Bug fixes:
- ls --dereference no longer outputs erroneous "argetm" strings for
dangling symlinks when an 'ln=target' entry is in $LS_COLORS.
[bug introduced in fileutils-4.0]
- ls -lL symlink once again properly prints "+" when the referent has
an ACL. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.13]
- sort -g no longer infloops for certain inputs containing NaNs [bug
introduced in coreutils-8.5]
- chown and chgrp with the -v --from= options, now output the correct
owner. I.E. for skipped files, the original ownership is output,
not the new one. [bug introduced in sh-utils-2.0g]
- cp -r could mistakenly change the permissions of an existing
destination directory. [bug introduced in coreutils-6.8]
- cp -u -p would fail to preserve one hard link for each up-to-date
copy of a src-hard-linked name in the destination tree. I.e., if
s/a and s/b are hard-linked and dst/s/a is up to date, "cp -up s
dst" would copy s/b to dst/s/b rather than simply linking dst/s/b
to dst/s/a. [This bug appears to have been present in "the
beginning".]
- fts-using tools (rm, du, chmod, chgrp, chown, chcon) no longer use
memory proportional to the number of entries in each directory they
process. Before, rm -rf 4-million-entry-directory would consume
about 1GiB of memory. Now, it uses less than 30MB, no matter how
many entries there are. [this bug was inherent in the use of fts:
thus, for rm the bug was introduced in coreutils-8.0. The prior
implementation of rm did not use as much memory. du, chmod, chgrp
and chown started using fts in 6.0. chcon was added in
coreutils-6.9.91 with fts support. ]
- pr -T no longer ignores a specified LAST_PAGE to stop at. [bug
introduced in textutils-1.19q]
- printf '%d' '"' no longer accesses out-of-bounds memory in the
diagnostic. [bug introduced in sh-utils-1.16]
- split --number l/... no longer creates extraneous files in certain
cases. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.8]
- timeout now sends signals to commands that create their own process
group. timeout is no longer confused when starting off with a
child process. [bugs introduced in coreutils-7.0]
- unexpand -a now aligns correctly when there are spaces spanning a
tabstop, followed by a tab. In that case a space was dropped,
causing misalignment. We also now ensure that a space never
precedes a tab. [bug introduced in coreutils-5.3.0]
New features:
- date now accepts ISO 8601 date-time strings with "T" as the
separator. It has long parsed dates like "2004-02-29 16:21:42"
with a space between the date and time strings. Now it also parses
"2004-02-29T16:21:42" and fractional-second and time-zone-annotated
variants like "2004-02-29T16:21:42.333-07:00"
- md5sum accepts the new --strict option. With --check, it makes the
tool exit non-zero for any invalid input line, rather than just warning.
This also affects sha1sum, sha224sum, sha384sum and sha512sum.
- split accepts a new --filter=CMD option. With it, split filters
output through CMD. CMD may use the $FILE environment variable,
which is set to the nominal output file name for each invocation of
CMD. For example, to split a file into 3 approximately equal
parts, which are then compressed:
split -n3 --filter='xz > $FILE.xz' big
Note the use of single quotes, not double quotes. That creates
files named xaa.xz, xab.xz and xac.xz.
- timeout accepts a new --foreground option, to support commands not
started directly from a shell prompt, where the command is
interactive or needs to receive signals initiated from the
terminal.
Improvements:
- md5sum --check now supports the -r format from the corresponding
BSD tool. This also affects sha1sum, sha224sum, sha384sum and
sha512sum.
- pwd now works also on systems without openat. On such systems, pwd
would fail when run from a directory whose absolute name contained
more than PATH_MAX / 3 components. The df, stat and readlink
programs are also affected due to their use of the canonicalize_*
functions.
- join --check-order now prints "join: FILE:LINE_NUMBER: bad_line"
for an unsorted input, rather than e.g., "join: file 1 is not in
sorted order".
- shuf outputs small subsets of large permutations much more
efficiently. For example `shuf -i1-$((2**32-1)) -n2` no longer
exhausts memory.
- stat -f now recognizes the GPFS, MQUEUE and PSTOREFS file system
types.
- timeout now supports sub-second timeouts.
Changes in behavior:
- chmod, chown and chgrp now output the original attributes in
messages, when -v or -c specified.
- cp -au (where --preserve=links is implicit) may now replace newer
files in the destination, to mirror hard links from the source.

- Update to 8.12:
* Bug fixes
tail's --follow=name option no longer implies --retry on systems
with inotify support. [bug introduced in coreutils-7.5]
* Changes in behavior
cp's extent-based (FIEMAP) copying code is more reliable in the face
of varying and undocumented file system semantics:
- it no longer treats unwritten extents specially
- a FIEMAP-based extent copy always uses the FIEMAP_FLAG_SYNC flag.
Before, it would incur the performance penalty of that sync only
for 2.6.38 and older kernels. We thought all problems would be
resolved for 2.6.39.
- it now attempts a FIEMAP copy only on a file that appears sparse.
Sparse files are relatively unusual, and the copying code incurs
the performance penalty of the now-mandatory sync only for them.
- Add complete german meesage catalogue.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Apr 14 14:46:41 CEST 2011 - pth@suse.de
- Update to 8.11:
* Bug fixes
cp -a --link would not create a hardlink to a symlink, instead
copying the symlink and then not preserving its timestamp.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.0]
cp now avoids FIEMAP issues with BTRFS before Linux 2.6.38,
which could result in corrupt copies of sparse files.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.10]
cut could segfault when invoked with a user-specified output
delimiter and an unbounded range like "-f1234567890-".
[bug introduced in coreutils-5.3.0]
du would infloop when given --files0-from=DIR
[bug introduced in coreutils-7.1]
sort no longer spawns 7 worker threads to sort 16 lines
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.6]
touch built on Solaris 9 would segfault when run on Solaris 10
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.8]
wc would dereference a NULL pointer upon an early out-of-memory error
[bug introduced in coreutils-7.1]
** New features
dd now accepts the 'nocache' flag to the iflag and oflag options,
which will discard any cache associated with the files, or
processed portion thereof.
dd now warns that 'iflag=fullblock' should be used,
in various cases where partial reads can cause issues.
** Changes in behavior
cp now avoids syncing files when possible, when doing a FIEMAP copy.
The sync is only needed on Linux kernels before 2.6.39.
[The sync was introduced in coreutils-8.10]
cp now copies empty extents efficiently, when doing a FIEMAP copy.
It no longer reads the zero bytes from the input, and also can
efficiently create a hole in the output file when --sparse=always
is specified.
df now aligns columns consistently, and no longer wraps entries
with longer device identifiers, over two lines.
install now rejects its long-deprecated --preserve_context option.
Use --preserve-context instead.
test now accepts "==" as a synonym for "="

- Readd documentation of hostname and hostid to texinfo
documentation.
- Remove obsolete and unused german translation.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Feb 10 14:35:49 CET 2011 - pth@suse.de
- Update to 8.10:
* Bug fixes
- du would abort with a failed assertion when two conditions are
met: part of the hierarchy being traversed is moved to a higher
level in the directory tree, and there is at least one more
command line directory argument following the one containing
the moved sub-tree. [bug introduced in coreutils-5.1.0]
- join --header now skips the ordering check for the first line
even if the other file is empty. [bug introduced in
coreutils-8.5]
- rm -f no longer fails for EINVAL or EILSEQ on file systems that
reject file names invalid for that file system.
- uniq -f NUM no longer tries to process fields after end of
line. [bug introduced in coreutils-7.0]
* New features
- cp now copies sparse files efficiently on file systems with
FIEMAP support (ext4, btrfs, xfs, ocfs2). Before, it had to
read 2^20 bytes when copying a 1MiB sparse file. Now, it
copies bytes only for the non-sparse sections of a file.
Similarly, to induce a hole in the output file, it had to
detect a long sequence of zero bytes. Now, it knows precisely
where each hole in an input file is, and can reproduce them
efficiently in the output file. mv also benefits when it
resorts to copying, e.g., between file systems.
- join now supports -o 'auto' which will automatically infer the
output format from the first line in each file, to ensure the
same number of fields are output for each line.
* Changes in behavior
- join no longer reports disorder when one of the files is empty.
This allows one to use join as a field extractor like:
join -a1 -o 1.3,1.1 - /dev/null
- Add upstream patch that fixes a segfault in cut.
- Add upstream patch to fix sparse fiemap tests.
- Fix i18n patch for join.

Bug fixes
split no longer creates files with a suffix length that
is dependent on the number of bytes or lines per file.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.8]
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Jan 3 19:32:57 CET 2011 - pth@suse.de
- Update to 8.8. Changes since 8.6:
Bug fixes:
cp -u no longer does unnecessary copying merely because the source
has finer-grained time stamps than the destination.
od now prints floating-point numbers without losing information, and
it no longer omits spaces between floating-point columns in some cases.
sort -u with at least two threads could attempt to read through a
corrupted pointer. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.6]
sort with at least two threads and with blocked output would busy-loop
(spinlock) all threads, often using 100% of available CPU cycles to
do no work. I.e., "sort < big-file | less" could waste a lot of power.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.6]
sort with at least two threads no longer segfaults due to use of pointers
into the stack of an expired thread. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.6]
sort --compress no longer mishandles subprocesses' exit statuses,
no longer hangs indefinitely due to a bug in waiting for subprocesses,
and no longer generates many more than NMERGE subprocesses.
sort -m -o f f ... f no longer dumps core when file descriptors are limited.
csplit no longer corrupts heap when writing more than 999 files,
nor does it leak memory for every chunk of input processed
[the bugs were present in the initial implementation]
tail -F once again notices changes in a currently unavailable
remote directory [bug introduced in coreutils-7.5]
Changes in behavior:
sort will not create more than 8 threads by default due to diminishing
performance gains. Also the --parallel option is no longer restricted
to the number of available processors.
cp --attributes-only now completely overrides --reflink.
Previously a reflink was needlessly attempted.
stat's %X, %Y, and %Z directives once again print only the integer
part of seconds since the epoch. This reverts a change from
coreutils-8.6, that was deemed unnecessarily disruptive.
To obtain a nanosecond-precision time stamp for %X use %.X;
if you want (say) just 3 fractional digits, use %.3X.
Likewise for %Y and %Z.
stat's new %W format directive would print floating point seconds.
However, with the above change to %X, %Y and %Z, we've made %W work
the same way as the others.
New features:
split accepts the --number option to generate a specific number of files.
- Add a complete german translation.
- Add upstreams patch for suffix calculation in split.

Thu Nov 11 16:33:50 CET 2010 - pth@suse.de
- Update to 8.6:
o bugfixes
* du no longer multiply counts a file that is a directory or whose
link count is 1.
* du -H and -L now consistently count pointed-to files instead of
symbolic links, and correctly diagnose dangling symlinks.
* du --ignore=D now ignores directory D even when that directory is
found to be part of a directory cycle.
* split now diagnoses read errors rather than silently exiting.
* tac would perform a double-free when given an input line longer
than 16KiB.
* tail -F once again notices changes in a currently unavailable
directory, and works around a Linux kernel bug where inotify runs
out of resources.
* tr now consistently handles case conversion character classes.
o New features
* cp now accepts the --attributes-only option to not copy file data.
* du recognizes -d N as equivalent to --max-depth=N
* sort now accepts the --debug option, to highlight the part of the
line significant in the sort, and warns about questionable options.
* sort now supports -d, -f, -i, -R, and -V in any combination.
* stat now accepts the %m format directive to output the mount point
for a file. It also accepts the %w and %W format directives for
outputting the birth time of a file, if one is available.
o Changes in behavior
* df now consistently prints the device name for a bind mounted file,
rather than its aliased target.
* du now uses less than half as much memory when operating on trees
with many hard-linked files.
* ls -l now uses the traditional three field time style rather than
the wider two field numeric ISO style in locales where a style has
not been specified.
* rm's -d now evokes an error; before, it was silently ignored.
* sort -g now uses long doubles for greater range and precision.
* sort -h no longer rejects numbers with leading or trailing ".", and
no longer accepts numbers with multiple ".". It now considers all
zeros to be equal.
* sort now uses the number of available processors to parallelize
the sorting operation.
* stat now provides translated output when no format is specified.
* stat no longer accepts the --context (-Z) option.
* stat no longer accepts the %C directive when the --file-system
option is in effect.
* stat now outputs the full sub-second resolution for the atime,
mtime, and ctime values since the Epoch, when using the %X, %Y, and
%Z directives of the --format option.
* touch's --file option is no longer recognized. Use --reference=F
(-r) instead.
* truncate now supports setting file sizes relative to a reference
file. Also errors are no longer suppressed for unsupported file
types, and relative sizes are restricted to supported file types.

- Update to 8.5:
Bug fixes
* cp and mv once again support preserving extended attributes.
* cp now preserves "capabilities" when also preserving file ownership.7
* ls --color once again honors the 'NORMAL' dircolors directive.
[bug introduced in coreutils-6.11]
* sort -M now handles abbreviated months that are aligned using
blanks in the locale database. Also locales with 8 bit characters
are handled correctly, including multi byte locales with the caveat
that multi byte characters are matched case sensitively.
* sort again handles obsolescent key formats (+POS -POS) correctly.
Previously if -POS was specified, 1 field too many was used in the
sort. [bug introduced in coreutils-7.2]
New features
* join now accepts the --header option, to treat the first line of
each file as a header line to be joined and printed
unconditionally.
* timeout now accepts the --kill-after option which sends a kill
signal to the monitored command if it's still running the specified
duration after the initial signal was sent.
* who: the "+/-" --mesg (-T) indicator of whether a user/tty is
accepting messages could be incorrectly listed as "+", when in
fact, the user was not accepting messages (mesg no). Before, who
would examine only the permission bits, and not consider the group
of the TTY device file. Thus, if a login tty's group would change
somehow e.g., to "root", that would make it unwritable (via
write(1)) by normal users, in spite of whatever the permission bits
might imply. Now, when configured using the
--with-tty-group[=NAME] option, who also compares the group of the
TTY device with NAME (or "tty" if no group name is specified).
Changes in behavior
* ls --color no longer emits the final 3-byte color-resetting escape
sequence when it would be a no-op.
* join -t '' no longer emits an error and instead operates on each
line as a whole (even if they contain NUL characters).

- Update to coreutils 7.1.
** New features
Add extended attribute support available on certain filesystems like ext2
and XFS.
cp: Tries to copy xattrs when --preserve=xattr or --preserve=all specified
mv: Always tries to copy xattrs
install: Never copies xattrs
cp and mv accept a new option, --no-clobber (-n): silently refrain
from overwriting any existing destination file
dd accepts iflag=cio and oflag=cio to open the file in CIO (concurrent I/O)
mode where this feature is available.
install accepts a new option, --compare (-C): compare each pair of source
and destination files, and if the destination has identical content and
any specified owner, group, permissions, and possibly SELinux context, then
do not modify the destination at all.
ls --color now highlights hard linked files, too
stat -f recognizes the Lustre file system type
** Bug fixes
chgrp, chmod, chown --silent (--quiet, -f) no longer print some diagnostics
[bug introduced in coreutils-5.1]
cp uses much less memory in some situations
cp -a now correctly tries to preserve SELinux context (announced in 6.9.90),
doesn't inform about failure, unlike with --preserve=all
du --files0-from=FILE no longer reads all of FILE into RAM before
processing the first file name
seq 9223372036854775807 9223372036854775808 now prints only two numbers
on systems with extended long double support and good library support.
Even with this patch, on some systems, it still produces invalid output,
from 3 to at least 1026 lines long. [bug introduced in coreutils-6.11]
seq -w now accounts for a decimal point added to the last number
to correctly print all numbers to the same width.
wc --files0-from=FILE no longer reads all of FILE into RAM, before
processing the first file name, unless the list of names is known
to be small enough.
** Changes in behavior
cp and mv: the --reply={yes,no,query} option has been removed.
Using it has elicited a warning for the last three years.
dd: user specified offsets that are too big are handled better.
Previously, erroneous parameters to skip and seek could result
in redundant reading of the file with no warnings or errors.
du: -H (initially equivalent to --si) is now equivalent to
--dereference-args, and thus works as POSIX requires
shred: now does 3 overwrite passes by default rather than 25.
ls -l now marks SELinux-only files with the less obtrusive '.',
rather than '+'. A file with any other combination of MAC and ACL
is still marked with a '+'.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Jun 4 14:10:05 CEST 2008 - schwab@suse.de
- Update to coreutils 6.12.
** Bug fixes
chcon, runcon: --help output now includes the bug-reporting address
cp -p copies permissions more portably. For example, on MacOS X 10.5,
"cp -p some-fifo some-file" no longer fails while trying to copy the
permissions from the some-fifo argument.
id with no options now prints the SELinux context only when invoked
with no USERNAME argument.
id and groups once again print the AFS-specific nameless group-ID (PAG).
Printing of such large-numbered, kernel-only (not in /etc/group) group-IDs
was suppressed in 6.11 due to ignorance that they are useful.
uniq: avoid subtle field-skipping malfunction due to isblank misuse.
In some locales on some systems, isblank(240) (aka &nbsp) is nonzero.
On such systems, uniq --skip-fields=N would fail to skip the proper
number of fields for some inputs.
tac: avoid segfault with --regex (-r) and multiple files, e.g.,
"echo > x; tac -r x x". [bug present at least in textutils-1.8b, from 1992]
** Changes in behavior
install once again sets SELinux context, when possible
[it was deliberately disabled in 6.9.90]
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Apr 20 00:19:07 CEST 2008 - schwab@suse.de
- Update to coreutils 6.11.
** Bug fixes
configure --enable-no-install-program=groups now works.
"cp -fR fifo E" now succeeds with an existing E. Before this fix, using
-fR to copy a fifo or "special" file onto an existing file would fail
with EEXIST. Now, it once again unlinks the destination before trying
to create the destination file. [bug introduced in coreutils-5.90]
dd once again works with unnecessary options like if=/dev/stdin and
of=/dev/stdout. [bug introduced in fileutils-4.0h]
id now uses getgrouplist, when possible. This results in
much better performance when there are many users and/or groups.
ls no longer segfaults on files in /proc when linked with an older version
of libselinux. E.g., ls -l /proc/sys would dereference a NULL pointer.
md5sum would segfault for invalid BSD-style input, e.g.,
echo 'MD5 (' | md5sum -c - Now, md5sum ignores that line.
sha1sum, sha224sum, sha384sum, and sha512sum are affected, too.
[bug introduced in coreutils-5.1.0]
md5sum -c would accept a NUL-containing checksum string like "abcd\0..."
and would unnecessarily read and compute the checksum of the named file,
and then compare that checksum to the invalid one: guaranteed to fail.
Now, it recognizes that the line is not valid and skips it.
sha1sum, sha224sum, sha384sum, and sha512sum are affected, too.
[bug present in the original version, in coreutils-4.5.1, 1995]
"mkdir -Z x dir" no longer segfaults when diagnosing invalid context "x"
mkfifo and mknod would fail similarly. Now they're fixed.
mv would mistakenly unlink a destination file before calling rename,
when the destination had two or more hard links. It no longer does that.
[bug introduced in coreutils-5.3.0]
"paste -d'\' file" no longer overruns memory (heap since coreutils-5.1.2,
stack before then) [bug present in the original version, in 1992]
"pr -e" with a mix of backspaces and TABs no longer corrupts the heap
[bug present in the original version, in 1992]
"ptx -F'\' long-file-name" would overrun a malloc'd buffer and corrupt
the heap. That was triggered by a lone backslash (or odd number of them)
at the end of the option argument to --flag-truncation=STRING (-F),
--word-regexp=REGEXP (-W), or --sentence-regexp=REGEXP (-S).
"rm -r DIR" would mistakenly declare to be "write protected" -- and
prompt about -- full DIR-relative names longer than MIN (PATH_MAX, 8192).
"rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty" detects and ignores the failure
in more cases when a directory is empty.
"seq -f % 1" would issue the erroneous diagnostic "seq: memory exhausted"
rather than reporting the invalid string format.
[bug introduced in coreutils-6.0]
** New features
join now verifies that the inputs are in sorted order. This check can
be turned off with the --nocheck-order option.
sort accepts the new option --sort=WORD, where WORD can be one of
general-numeric, month, numeric or random. These are equivalent to the
options --general-numeric-sort/-g, --month-sort/-M, --numeric-sort/-n
and --random-sort/-R, resp.
** Improvements
id and groups work around an AFS-related bug whereby those programs
would print an invalid group number, when given no user-name argument.
ls --color no longer outputs unnecessary escape sequences
seq gives better diagnostics for invalid formats.
** Portability
rm now works properly even on systems like BeOS and Haiku,
which have negative errno values.
** Consistency
install, mkdir, rmdir and split now write --verbose output to stdout,
not to stderr.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sat Jan 12 19:08:54 CET 2008 - schwab@suse.de
- Update to coreutils 6.9.92.
** Bug fixes
cp --parents no longer uses uninitialized memory when restoring the
permissions of a just-created destination directory.
[bug introduced in coreutils-6.9.90]
tr's case conversion would fail in a locale with differing numbers
of lower case and upper case characters. E.g., this would fail:
env LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO-8859-1 tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]'
[bug introduced in coreutils-6.9.90]
** Improvements
"touch -d now writable-but-owned-by-someone-else" now succeeds
whenever that same command would succeed without "-d now".
Before, it would work fine with no -d option, yet it would
fail with the ostensibly-equivalent "-d now".
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Jan 7 16:14:51 CET 2008 - schwab@suse.de
- Update to coreutils 6.9.91.
** Bug fixes
"ls -l" would not output "+" on SELinux hosts unless -Z was also given.

in which the user running rm is capable of unlinking a directory.

dependency in the lowest basesystem
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Dec 3 10:44:24 CET 2007 - schwab@suse.de
- Update to coreutils-6.9.90.
** New programs
arch: equivalent to uname -m, not installed by default
But don't install this program on Solaris systems.
chcon: change the SELinux security context of a file
mktemp: create a temporary file or directory (or names)
runcon: run a program in a different SELinux security context
** Programs no longer installed by default
hostname, su
** Changes in behavior
cp, by default, refuses to copy through a dangling destination symlink
Set POSIXLY_CORRECT if you require the old, risk-prone behavior.
pr -F no longer suppresses the footer or the first two blank lines in
the header. This is for compatibility with BSD and POSIX.
tr now warns about an unescaped backslash at end of string.
The tr from coreutils-5.2.1 and earlier would fail for such usage,
and Solaris' tr ignores that final byte.
** New features
Add SELinux support, based on the patch from Fedora:
* cp accepts new --preserve=context option.
* "cp -a" works with SELinux:
Now, cp -a attempts to preserve context, but failure to do so does
not change cp's exit status. However "cp --preserve=context" is
similar, but failure *does* cause cp to exit with nonzero status.
* install accepts new "-Z, --context=C" option.
* id accepts new "-Z" option.
* stat honors the new %C format directive: SELinux security context string
* ls accepts a slightly modified -Z option.
* ls: contrary to Fedora version, does not accept --lcontext and --scontext
cp -p tries to preserve the GID of a file even if preserving the UID
is not possible.
uniq accepts a new option: --zero-terminated (-z). As with the sort
option of the same name, this makes uniq consume and produce
NUL-terminated lines rather than newline-terminated lines.
wc no longer warns about character decoding errors in multibyte locales.
This means for example that "wc /bin/sh" now produces normal output
(though the word count will have no real meaning) rather than many
error messages.
** New build options
By default, "make install" no longer attempts to install (or even build) su.
To change that, use ./configure --enable-install-program=su.
If you also want to install the new "arch" program, do this:
./configure --enable-install-program=arch,su.
You can inhibit the compilation and installation of selected programs
at configure time. For example, to avoid installing "hostname" and
"uptime", use ./configure --enable-no-install-program=hostname,uptime
Note: currently, "make check" passes, even when arch and su are not
built (that's the new default). However, if you inhibit the building
and installation of other programs, don't be surprised if some parts
of "make check" fail.
** Remove deprecated options
df no longer accepts the --kilobytes option.
du no longer accepts the --kilobytes or --megabytes options.
ls no longer accepts the --kilobytes option.
ptx longer accepts the --copyright option.
who no longer accepts -i or --idle.
** Improved robustness
ln -f can no longer silently clobber a just-created hard link.
In some cases, ln could be seen as being responsible for data loss.
For example, given directories a, b, c, and files a/f and b/f, we
should be able to do this safely: ln -f a/f b/f c && rm -f a/f b/f
However, before this change, ln would succeed, and thus cause the
loss of the contents of a/f.
stty no longer silently accepts certain invalid hex values
in its 35-colon commmand-line argument
** Bug fixes
chmod no longer ignores a dangling symlink. Now, chmod fails
with a diagnostic saying that it cannot operate on such a file.
[bug introduced in coreutils-5.1.0]
cp attempts to read a regular file, even if stat says it is empty.
Before, "cp /proc/cpuinfo c" would create an empty file when the kernel
reports stat.st_size == 0, while "cat /proc/cpuinfo > c" would "work",
and create a nonempty one. [bug introduced in coreutils-6.0]
cp --parents no longer mishandles symlinks to directories in file
name components in the source, e.g., "cp --parents symlink/a/b d"
no longer fails. Also, 'cp' no longer considers a destination
symlink to be the same as the referenced file when copying links
or making backups. For example, if SYM is a symlink to FILE,
"cp -l FILE SYM" now reports an error instead of silently doing
nothing. The behavior of 'cp' is now better documented when the
destination is a symlink.
"cp -i --update older newer" no longer prompts; same for mv
"cp -i" now detects read errors on standard input, and no longer consumes
too much seekable input; same for ln, install, mv, and rm.
cut now diagnoses a range starting with zero (e.g., -f 0-2) as invalid;
before, it would treat it as if it started with 1 (-f 1-2).
"cut -f 2-0" now fails; before, it was equivalent to "cut -f 2-"
cut now diagnoses the '-' in "cut -f -" as an invalid range, rather
than interpreting it as the unlimited range, "1-".
date -d now accepts strings of the form e.g., 'YYYYMMDD +N days',
in addition to the usual 'YYYYMMDD N days'.
du -s now includes the size of any stat'able-but-inaccessible directory
in the total size.
du (without -s) prints whatever it knows of the size of an inaccessible
directory. Before, du would print nothing for such a directory.
ls -x DIR would sometimes output the wrong string in place of the
first entry. [introduced in coreutils-6.8]
ls --color would mistakenly color a dangling symlink as if it were
a regular symlink. This would happen only when the dangling symlink
was not a command-line argument and in a directory with d_type support.
[introduced in coreutils-6.0]
ls --color, (with a custom LS_COLORS envvar value including the
ln=target attribute) would mistakenly output the string "target"
before the name of each symlink. [introduced in coreutils-6.0]
od's --skip (-j) option now works even when the kernel says that a
nonempty regular file has stat.st_size = 0. This happens at least
with files in /proc and linux-2.6.22.
"od -j L FILE" had a bug: when the number of bytes to skip, L, is exactly
the same as the length of FILE, od would skip *no* bytes. When the number
of bytes to skip is exactly the sum of the lengths of the first N files,
od would skip only the first N-1 files. [introduced in textutils-2.0.9]
./printf %.10000000f 1 could get an internal ENOMEM error and generate
no output, yet erroneously exit with status 0. Now it diagnoses the error
and exits with nonzero status. [present in initial implementation]
seq no longer mishandles obvious cases like "seq 0 0.000001 0.000003",
so workarounds like "seq 0 0.000001 0.0000031" are no longer needed.
seq would mistakenly reject some valid format strings containing %%,
and would mistakenly accept some invalid ones. e.g., %g%% and %%g, resp.
"seq .1 .1" would mistakenly generate no output on some systems
Obsolete sort usage with an invalid ordering-option character, e.g.,
"env _POSIX2_VERSION=199209 sort +1x" no longer makes sort free an
invalid pointer [introduced in coreutils-6.5]
sorting very long lines (relative to the amount of available memory)
no longer provokes unaligned memory access
split --line-bytes=N (-C N) no longer creates an empty file
[this bug is present at least as far back as textutils-1.22 (Jan, 1997)]
tr -c no longer aborts when translating with Set2 larger than the
complement of Set1. [present in the original version, in 1992]
tr no longer rejects an unmatched [:lower:] or [:upper:] in SET1.
[present in the original version]

** Bug fixes
cp -x (--one-file-system) would fail to set mount point permissions
The default block size and output format for df -P are now unaffected by
the DF_BLOCK_SIZE, BLOCK_SIZE, and BLOCKSIZE environment variables. It
is still affected by POSIXLY_CORRECT, though.
Using pr -m -s (i.e. merging files, with TAB as the output separator)
no longer inserts extraneous spaces between output columns.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Feb 25 10:58:58 CET 2007 - schwab@suse.de
- Update to coreutils 6.8.
** Bug fixes
chgrp, chmod, and chown now honor the --preserve-root option.
Before, they would warn, yet continuing traversing and operating on /.
chmod no longer fails in an environment (e.g., a chroot) with openat
support but with insufficient /proc support.
"cp --parents F/G D" no longer creates a directory D/F when F is not
a directory (and F/G is therefore invalid).
"cp --preserve=mode" would create directories that briefly had
too-generous permissions in some cases. For example, when copying a
directory with permissions 777 the destination directory might
temporarily be setgid on some file systems, which would allow other
users to create subfiles with the same group as the directory. Fix
similar problems with 'install' and 'mv'.
cut no longer dumps core for usage like "cut -f2- f1 f2" with two or
more file arguments. This was due to a double-free bug, introduced
in coreutils-5.3.0.
dd bs= operands now silently override any later ibs= and obs=
operands, as POSIX and tradition require.
"ls -FRL" always follows symbolic links on Linux. Introduced in
coreutils-6.0.
A cross-partition "mv /etc/passwd ~" (by non-root) now prints
a reasonable diagnostic. Before, it would print this:
"mv: cannot remove `/etc/passwd': Not a directory".
pwd and "readlink -e ." no longer fail unnecessarily when a parent
directory is unreadable.
"rm -rf /etc/passwd" (run by non-root) now prints a diagnostic.
Before it would print nothing.
"rm --interactive=never F" no longer prompts for an unwritable F
** New features
sort's new --compress-program=PROG option specifies a compression
program to use when writing and reading temporary files.
This can help save both time and disk space when sorting large inputs.
** New features
sort accepts the new option -C, which acts like -c except no diagnostic
is printed. Its --check option now accepts an optional argument, and
--check=quiet and --check=silent are now aliases for -C, while
--check=diagnose-first is an alias for -c or plain --check.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

- Fix acl tests.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sat Dec 9 01:00:28 CET 2006 - schwab@suse.de
- Update to coreutils 6.7.
** Bug fixes
When cp -p copied a file with special mode bits set, the same bits
were set on the copy even when ownership could not be preserved.
This could result in files that were setuid to the wrong user.
To fix this, special mode bits are now set in the copy only if its
ownership is successfully preserved. Similar problems were fixed
with mv when copying across file system boundaries. This problem
affects all versions of coreutils through 6.6.
cp --preserve=ownership would create output files that temporarily
had too-generous permissions in some cases. For example, when
copying a file with group A and mode 644 into a group-B sticky
directory, the output file was briefly readable by group B.
Fix similar problems with cp options like -p that imply
--preserve=ownership, with install -d when combined with either -o
or -g, and with mv when copying across file system boundaries.
This bug affects coreutils 6.0 through 6.6.
du --one-file-system (-x) would skip subdirectories of any directory
listed as second or subsequent command line argument. This bug affects
coreutils-6.4, 6.5 and 6.6.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Nov 22 16:16:52 CET 2006 - schwab@suse.de
- Update to coreutils 6.6.
** Bug fixes
ls would segfault (dereference a NULL pointer) for a file with a
nameless group or owner. This bug was introduced in coreutils-6.5.
A bug in the latest official m4/gettext.m4 (from gettext-0.15)
made configure fail to detect gettext support, due to the unusual
way in which coreutils uses AM_GNU_GETTEXT.
** Improved robustness
Now, du (and the other fts clients: chmod, chgrp, chown) honor a
trailing slash in the name of a symlink-to-directory even on
Solaris 9, by working around its buggy fstatat implementation.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Nov 20 11:34:05 CET 2006 - schwab@suse.de
- Update to coreutils 6.5.
** Bug fixes
du (and the other fts clients: chmod, chgrp, chown) would exit early
when encountering an inaccessible directory on a system with native
openat support (i.e., linux-2.6.16 or newer along with glibc-2.4
or newer). This bug was introduced with the switch to gnulib's
openat-based variant of fts, for coreutils-6.0.
"ln --backup f f" now produces a sensible diagnostic
** New features
rm accepts a new option: --one-file-system
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Oct 23 10:58:38 CEST 2006 - schwab@suse.de
- Update to coreutils 6.4.
** Bug fixes
chgrp and chown would malfunction when invoked with both -R and -H and
with one or more of the following: --preserve-root, --verbose, --changes,
--from=o:g (chown only). This bug was introduced with the switch to
gnulib's openat-based variant of fts, for coreutils-6.0.
cp --backup dir1 dir2, would rename an existing dir2/dir1 to dir2/dir1~.
This bug was introduced in coreutils-6.0.
With --force (-f), rm no longer fails for ENOTDIR.
For example, "rm -f existing-non-directory/anything" now exits
successfully, ignoring the error about a nonexistent file.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Oct 9 14:48:23 CEST 2006 - schwab@suse.de
- Update to coreutils 6.3.
** Improved robustness
pinky no longer segfaults on Darwin 7.9.0 (MacOS X 10.3.9) due to a
buggy native getaddrinfo function.
rm works around a bug in Darwin 7.9.0 (MacOS X 10.3.9) that would
sometimes keep it from removing all entries in a directory on an HFS+
or NFS-mounted partition.
sort would fail to handle very large input (around 40GB) on systems with a
mkstemp function that returns a file descriptor limited to 32-bit offsets.
** Bug fixes
chmod would fail unnecessarily in an unusual case: when an initially-
inaccessible argument is rendered accessible by chmod's action on a
preceding command line argument. This bug also affects chgrp, but
it is harder to demonstrate. It does not affect chown. The bug was
introduced with the switch from explicit recursion to the use of fts
in coreutils-5.1.0 (2003-10-15).
cp -i and mv -i occasionally neglected to prompt when the copy or move
action was bound to fail. This bug dates back to before fileutils-4.0.
With --verbose (-v), cp and mv would sometimes generate no output,
or neglect to report file removal.
For the "groups" command:
"groups" no longer prefixes the output with "user :" unless more
than one user is specified; this is for compatibility with BSD.
"groups user" now exits nonzero when it gets a write error.
"groups" now processes options like --help more compatibly.
shuf would infloop, given 8KB or more of piped input
** Portability
Versions of chmod, chown, chgrp, du, and rm (tools that use openat etc.)
compiled for Solaris 8 now also work when run on Solaris 10.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Oct 5 00:16:42 CEST 2006 - agruen@suse.de
- cp: Replace the old --attributes=regex option with
--preserve=xattrs. Only copy extended attributes if this
option is given. Use libattr's new copy_attr_action() function
to check which attributes to copy in /etc/xattr.conf.

- Disable broken autopoint.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Sep 18 13:13:58 CEST 2006 - schwab@suse.de
- Update to coreutils 6.2.
** Changes in behavior
mkdir -p and install -d (or -D) now use a method that forks a child
process if the working directory is unreadable and a later argument
uses a relative file name. This avoids some race conditions, but it
means you may need to kill two processes to stop these programs.
rm now rejects attempts to remove the root directory, e.g., `rm -fr /'
now fails without removing anything. Likewise for any file name with
a final `./' or `../' component.
tail now ignores the -f option if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set, no file
operand is given, and standard input is any FIFO; formerly it did
this only for pipes.
** Infrastructure changes
Coreutils now uses gnulib via the gnulib-tool script.
If you check the source out from CVS, then follow the instructions
in README-cvs. Although this represents a large change to the
infrastructure, it should cause no change in how the tools work.
** Bug fixes
cp --backup no longer fails when the last component of a source file
name is "." or "..".
"ls --color" would highlight other-writable and sticky directories
no differently than regular directories on a file system with
dirent.d_type support.
"mv -T --verbose --backup=t A B" now prints the " (backup: B.~1~)"
suffix when A and B are directories as well as when they are not.
mv and "cp -r" no longer fail when invoked with two arguments
where the first one names a directory and the second name ends in
a slash and doesn't exist. E.g., "mv dir B/", for nonexistent B,
now succeeds, once more. This bug was introduced in coreutils-5.3.0.

- Fix sbin patch [#202632].
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Aug 21 11:32:53 CEST 2006 - schwab@suse.de
- Update to coreutils 6.1.
** Changes in behavior
df now considers BSD "kernfs" file systems to be dummies
** Bug fixes
cp --sparse preserves sparseness at the end of a file, even when
the file's apparent size is not a multiple of its block size.
[introduced with the original design, in fileutils-4.0r, 2000-04-29]
df (with a command line argument) once again prints its header
[introduced in coreutils-6.0]
ls -CF would misalign columns in some cases involving non-stat'able files
[introduced in coreutils-6.0]
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Aug 15 17:50:41 CEST 2006 - schwab@suse.de
- Update to coreutils 6.0.
** Improved robustness
df: if the file system claims to have more available than total blocks,
report the number of used blocks as being "total - available"
(a negative number) rather than as garbage.
dircolors: a new autoconf run-test for AIX's buggy strndup function
prevents malfunction on that system; may also affect cut, expand,
and unexpand.
fts no longer changes the current working directory, so its clients
(chmod, chown, chgrp, du) no longer malfunction under extreme conditions.
pwd and other programs using lib/getcwd.c work even on file systems
where dirent.d_ino values are inconsistent with those from stat.st_ino.
rm's core is now reentrant: rm --recursive (-r) now processes
hierarchies without changing the working directory at all.
** Changes in behavior
basename and dirname now treat // as different from / on platforms
where the two are distinct.
chmod, install, and mkdir now preserve a directory's set-user-ID and
set-group-ID bits unless you explicitly request otherwise. E.g.,
`chmod 755 DIR' and `chmod u=rwx,go=rx DIR' now preserve DIR's
set-user-ID and set-group-ID bits instead of clearing them, and
similarly for `mkdir -m 755 DIR' and `mkdir -m u=rwx,go=rx DIR'. To
clear the bits, mention them explicitly in a symbolic mode, e.g.,
`mkdir -m u=rwx,go=rx,-s DIR'. To set them, mention them explicitly
in either a symbolic or a numeric mode, e.g., `mkdir -m 2755 DIR',
`mkdir -m u=rwx,go=rx,g+s' DIR. This change is for convenience on
systems where these bits inherit from parents. Unfortunately other
operating systems are not consistent here, and portable scripts
cannot assume the bits are set, cleared, or preserved, even when the
bits are explicitly mentioned. For example, OpenBSD 3.9 `mkdir -m
777 D' preserves D's setgid bit but `chmod 777 D' clears it.
Conversely, Solaris 10 `mkdir -m 777 D', `mkdir -m g-s D', and
`chmod 0777 D' all preserve D's setgid bit, and you must use
something like `chmod g-s D' to clear it.
`cp --link --no-dereference' now works also on systems where the
link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
This change has no effect on systems with a Linux-based kernel.
csplit and nl now use POSIX syntax for regular expressions, not
Emacs syntax. As a result, character classes like [[:print:]] and
interval expressions like A\{1,9\} now have their usual meaning,
. no longer matches the null character, and \ must precede the + and
? operators.
date: a command like date -d '2006-04-23 21 days ago' would print
the wrong date in some time zones. (see the test for an example)
df now considers "none" and "proc" file systems to be dummies and
therefore does not normally display them. Also, inaccessible file
systems (which can be caused by shadowed mount points or by chrooted
bind mounts) are now dummies, too.
expr no longer complains about leading ^ in a regular expression
(the anchor is ignored), or about regular expressions like A** (the
second "*" is ignored). expr now exits with status 2 (not 3) for
errors it detects in the expression's values; exit status 3 is now
used only for internal errors (such as integer overflow, which expr
now checks for).
install and mkdir now implement the X permission symbol correctly,
e.g., `mkdir -m a+X dir'; previously the X was ignored.
install now creates parent directories with mode u=rwx,go=rx (755)
instead of using the mode specified by the -m option; and it does
not change the owner or group of parent directories. This is for
compatibility with BSD and closes some race conditions.
ln now uses different (and we hope clearer) diagnostics when it fails.
ln -v now acts more like FreeBSD, so it generates output only when
successful and the output is easier to parse.
ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', not --time-style='posix-long-iso'.
However, the 'locale' time style now behaves like 'posix-long-iso'
if your locale settings appear to be messed up. This change
attempts to have the default be the best of both worlds.
mkfifo and mknod no longer set special mode bits (setuid, setgid,
and sticky) with the -m option.
nohup's usual diagnostic now more precisely specifies the I/O
redirections, e.g., "ignoring input and appending output to
nohup.out". Also, nohup now redirects stderr to nohup.out (or
$HOME/nohup.out) if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty; this is in
response to Open Group XCU ERN 71.
rm --interactive now takes an optional argument, although the
default of using no argument still acts like -i.
rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory
seq changes:
seq defaults to a minimal fixed point format that does not lose
information if seq's operands are all fixed point decimal numbers.
You no longer need the `-f%.f' in `seq -f%.f 1048575 1024 1050623',
for example, since the default format now has the same effect.
seq now lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
sort now reports incompatible options (e.g., -i and -n) rather than
silently ignoring one of them.
stat's --format=FMT option now works the way it did before 5.3.0:
FMT is automatically newline terminated. The first stable release
containing this change was 5.92.
stat accepts the new option --printf=FMT, where FMT is *not*
automatically newline terminated.
stat: backslash escapes are interpreted in a format string specified
via --printf=FMT, but not one specified via --format=FMT. That includes
octal (\ooo, at most three octal digits), hexadecimal (\xhh, one or
two hex digits), and the standard sequences (\a, \b, \f, \n, \r, \t,
\v, \", \\).
With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f' only if
standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
Formerly, it ignored the '-f' when standard input was a FIFO, pipe,
or socket.
** Scheduled for removal
ptx's --copyright (-C) option is scheduled for removal in 2007, and
now evokes a warning. Use --version instead.
rm's --directory (-d) option is scheduled for removal in 2006. This
option has been silently ignored since coreutils 5.0. On systems
that support unlinking of directories, you can use the "unlink"
command to unlink a directory.
Similarly, we are considering the removal of ln's --directory (-d,
-F) option in 2006. Please write to <bug-coreutils@gnu.org> if this
would cause a problem for you. On systems that support hard links
to directories, you can use the "link" command to create one.
** New programs
base64: base64 encoding and decoding (RFC 3548) functionality.
sha224sum: print or check a SHA224 (224-bit) checksum
sha256sum: print or check a SHA256 (256-bit) checksum
sha384sum: print or check a SHA384 (384-bit) checksum
sha512sum: print or check a SHA512 (512-bit) checksum
shuf: Shuffle lines of text.
** New features
chgrp now supports --preserve-root, --no-preserve-root (default),
as it was documented to do, and just as chmod, chown, and rm do.
New dd iflag= and oflag= flags:
'directory' causes dd to fail unless the file is a directory, on
hosts that support this (e.g., Linux kernels, version 2.1.126 and
later). This has limited utility but is present for completeness.
'noatime' causes dd to read a file without updating its access
time, on hosts that support this (e.g., Linux kernels, version
2.6.8 and later).
'nolinks' causes dd to fail if the file has multiple hard links,
on hosts that support this (e.g., Solaris 10 and later).
ls accepts the new option --group-directories-first, to make it
list directories before files.
rm now accepts the -I (--interactive=once) option. This new option
prompts once if rm is invoked recursively or if more than three
files are being deleted, which is less intrusive than -i prompting
for every file, but provides almost the same level of protection
against mistakes.
shred and sort now accept the --random-source option.
sort now accepts the --random-sort (-R) option and `R' ordering option.
sort now supports obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" unless
POSIXLY_CORRECT is set. However, when conforming to POSIX
1003.1-2001 "sort +1" still sorts the file named "+1".
wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE contains a
list of NUL-terminated file names.
** Bug fixes
cat with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T, when applied to a
file in /proc or /sys (linux-specific), would truncate its output,
usually printing nothing.
cp -p would fail in a /proc-less chroot, on some systems
When `cp -RL' encounters the same directory more than once in the
hierarchy beneath a single command-line argument, it no longer confuses
them with hard-linked directories.
fts-using tools (chmod, chown, chgrp, du) no longer fail due to
a double-free bug -- it could be triggered by making a directory
inaccessible while e.g., du is traversing the hierarchy under it.
fts-using tools (chmod, chown, chgrp, du) no longer misinterpret
a very long symlink chain as a dangling symlink. Before, such a
misinterpretation would cause these tools not to diagnose an ELOOP error.
ls --indicator-style=file-type would sometimes stat a symlink
unnecessarily.
ls --file-type worked like --indicator-style=slash (-p),
rather than like --indicator-style=file-type.
mv: moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory is
now done atomically; before, mv would first unlink the destination.
mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally. Also, mv can
now remove an empty destination directory: mkdir -p a b/a; mv a b
rm (on systems with openat) can no longer exit before processing
all command-line arguments.
rm is no longer susceptible to a few low-probability memory leaks.
rm -r no longer fails to remove an inaccessible and empty directory
rm -r's cycle detection code can no longer be tricked into reporting
a false positive (introduced in fileutils-4.1.9).
shred --remove FILE no longer segfaults on Gentoo systems
sort would fail for large inputs (~50MB) on systems with a buggy
mkstemp function. sort and tac now use the replacement mkstemp
function, and hence are no longer subject to limitations (of 26 or 32,
on the maximum number of files from a given template) on HP-UX 10.20,
SunOS 4.1.4, Solaris 2.5.1 and OSF1/Tru64 V4.0F&V5.1.
tail -f once again works on a file with the append-only
attribute (affects at least Linux ext2, ext3, xfs file systems)
