+- Update to 8.29:
+  * 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.
+
+- Refresh patches (line number changes only):
+  * coreutils-i18n.patch
+  * coreutils-remove_hostname_documentation.patch
+  * coreutils-remove_kill_documentation.patch
+  * coreutils-tests-shorten-extreme-factor-tests.patch
