- Update to 9.5:
  Bug fixes:
  * chmod -R now avoids a race where an attacker may replace a traversed file
    with a symlink, causing chmod to operate on an unintended file.
    [This bug was present in "the beginning".]
  * cp, mv, and install no longer issue spurious diagnostics like "failed
    to preserve ownership" when copying to GNU/Linux CIFS file systems.
    They do this by working around some Linux CIFS bugs.
  * cp --no-preserve=mode will correctly maintain set-group-ID bits
    for created directories.  Previously on systems that didn't support ACLs,
    cp would have reset the set-group-ID bit on created directories.
    [bug introduced in coreutils-8.20]
  * join and uniq now support multi-byte characters better.
    For example, 'join -tX' now works even if X is a multi-byte character,
    and both programs now treat multi-byte characters like U+3000
    IDEOGRAPHIC SPACE as blanks if the current locale treats them so.
  * numfmt options like --suffix no longer have an arbitrary 127-byte limit.
    [bug introduced with numfmt in coreutils-8.21]
  * mktemp with --suffix now better diagnoses templates with too few X's.
    Previously it conflated the insignificant --suffix in the error.
    [bug introduced in coreutils-8.1]
  * sort again handles thousands grouping characters in single-byte locales
    where the grouping character is greater than CHAR_MAX.  For e.g. signed
    character platforms with a 0xA0 (aka &nbsp) grouping character.
    [bug introduced in coreutils-9.1]
  * split --line-bytes with a mixture of very long and short lines
    no longer overwrites the heap (CVE-2024-0684).
    [bug introduced in coreutils-9.2]
  * tail no longer mishandles input from files in /proc and /sys file systems,
    on systems with a page size larger than the stdio BUFSIZ.
    [This bug was present in "the beginning".]
  * timeout avoids a narrow race condition, where it might kill arbitrary
    processes after a failed process fork.
    [bug introduced with timeout in coreutils-7.0]
  * timeout avoids a narrow race condition, where it might fail to
    kill monitored processes immediately after forking them.
    [bug introduced with timeout in coreutils-7.0]
  * wc no longer fails to count unprintable characters as parts of words.
    [bug introduced in textutils-2.1]
  Changes in behavior:
  * base32 and base64 no longer require padding when decoding.
    Previously an error was given for non padded encoded data.
  * base32 and base64 have improved detection of corrupted encodings.
    Previously encodings with non zero padding bits were accepted.
  * basenc --base16 -d now supports lower case hexadecimal characters.
    Previously an error was given for lower case hex digits.
  * cp --no-clobber, and mv -n no longer exit with failure status if
    existing files are encountered in the destination.  Instead they revert
    to the behavior from before v9.2, silently skipping existing files.
  * ls --dired now implies long format output without hyperlinks enabled,
    and will take precedence over previously specified formats or hyperlink
    mode.
  * numfmt will accept lowercase 'k' to indicate Kilo or Kibi units on input,
    and uses lowercase 'k' when outputting such units in '--to=si' mode.
  * pinky no longer tries to canonicalize the user's login location by default,
    rather requiring the new --lookup option to enable this often slow feature.
  * wc no longer ignores encoding errors when counting words.
    Instead, it treats them as non white space.
  New features:
  * chgrp now accepts the --from=OWNER:GROUP option to restrict changes to files
    with matching current OWNER and/or GROUP, as already supported by chown(1).
  * chmod adds support for -h, -H,-L,-P, and --dereference options, providing
    more control over symlink handling.  This supports more secure handling of
    CLI arguments, and is more consistent with chown, and chmod on other
    systems.
  * cp now accepts the --keep-directory-symlink option (like tar), to preserve
    and follow existing symlinks to directories in the destination.
  * cp and mv now accept the --update=none-fail option, which is similar
    to the --no-clobber option, except that existing files are diagnosed,
    and the command exits with failure status if existing files.
    The -n,--no-clobber option is best avoided due to platform differences.
  * env now accepts the -a,--argv0 option to override the zeroth argument
    of the command being executed.
  * mv now accepts an --exchange option, which causes the source and
    destination to be exchanged.  It should be combined with
    --no-target-directory (-T) if the destination is a directory.
    The exchange is atomic if source and destination are on a single
    file system that supports atomic exchange; --exchange is not yet
    supported in other situations.
  * od now supports printing IEEE half precision floating point with -t fH,
    or brain 16 bit floating point with -t fB, where supported by the compiler.
  * tail now supports following multiple processes, with repeated --pid options.
  Improvements:
  * cp,mv,install,cat,split now read and write a minimum of 256KiB at a time.
    This was previously 128KiB and increasing to 256KiB was seen to increase
    throughput by 10-20% when reading cached files on modern systems.
  * env,kill,timeout now support unnamed signals. kill(1) for example now
    supports sending such signals, and env(1) will list them appropriately.
  * SELinux operations in file copy operations are now more efficient,
    avoiding unneeded MCS/MLS label translation.
  * sort no longer dynamically links to libcrypto unless -R is used.
    This decreases startup overhead in the typical case.
  * wc is now much faster in single-byte locales and somewhat faster in
    multi-byte locales.
- coreutils-9.4.split-CVE-2024-0684.patch: Remove now-upstream patch.
- gnulib-readutmp-under-gdm.patch: Likewise.
- gnulib-readutmp.patch: Likewise.
- coreutils-i18n.patch: Remove multi-byte patches for join and uniq, as the
  upstream version now handles those tests.
  Pull in gnulib module mbchar manually, as it is a dependency of mbfile,
  but dropped out of the upstream dependency chain.
- coreutils-misc.patch: Remove change for gnulib-tests/test-isnanl.h.
- coreutils-fix-gnulib-time_r-tests.patch: Add upstream gnulib patch to skip
  French test if TZ='Europe/Paris' does not work.

073dfd0e93 - update to 9.2: 
* 'comm --output-delimiter="" --total' now delimits columns
    in the total line with the NUL character, consistent with
    NUL column delimiters in the rest of the output.
    Previously no delimiters were used for the total line in
    this case.
  * 'cp -p' no longer has a security hole when cloning into a
    dangling symbolic link on macOS 10.12 and later.
- drop gnulib-simple-backup-fix.patch (upstream)
- drop coreutils-tests-workaround-make-fdleak.patch (obsolete)

1b8ed2233a - gnulib-simple-backup-fix.patch: Add patch to make simple backups in correct 
directory; broken in 9.1.  See https://bugs.gnu.org/55029

- 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.

fc6c8bcc8c Accepting request 783998 from home:berny:branches:Base:System 
- 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.
  ** Build-related
  gzip-compressed tarballs are distributed once again

0954d8e70f - 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.

  ** 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.
