* src/join.c: Instead of usig unreliable alloca() stack allocation,
use heap allocation via xmalloc()+free().
(coreutils-i18n.patch, from Philipp Thomas <pth@suse.de>)
- Avoid segmentation fault in "sort -d" and "sort -M" with long line input
(bnc#798538, VUL-1)
* src/sort.c: Instead of usig unreliable alloca() stack allocation,
use heap allocation via xmalloc()+free().
(coreutils-i18n.patch, from Philipp Thomas <pth@suse.de>)
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/Base:System/coreutils?expand=0&rev=173
* src/cut.c: Instead of usig unreliable alloca() stack allocation,
use heap allocation via xmalloc()+free().
(coreutils-i18n.patch)
- Fix test-suite errors (bnc#798261).
* tests/cp/fiemap-FMR: Fix path to src directory and declare
require_valgrind_ function.
(coreutils-cp-corrupt-fragmented-sparse.patch)
* tests/misc/cut:
Fix src/cut.c to properly pass output-delimiter tests.
Synchronize cut.c related part of the i18n patch with Fedora's.
Merge coreutils-i18n-infloop.patch into coreutils-i18n.patch.
Merge coreutils-i18n-uninit.patch into coreutils-i18n.patch.
In tests/misc/cut, do not replace the non-i18n error messages.
(coreutils-i18n.patch)
* tests/rm/ext3-perf:
This test failed due to heavy parallel CPU and/or disk load because it
is based on timeouts. Do not run the test-suite with 'make -jN.
(coreutils.spec, coreutils-testsuite.spec)
* Further spec changes:
Run more tests: also run "very expensive" tests; add acl, python-pyinotify,
strace and valgrind to the build requirements.
Remove patch5 and patch6 as they are now merged into coreutils-i18n.patch
(see above).
(coreutils.spec, coreutils-testsuite.spec)
- Maintenance changes:
(coreutils.spec, coreutils-testsuite.spec)
* Add perl and texinfo to the build requirements as they are needed to
re-generate the man pages and the texinfo documentation.
* Remove already-active "-Wall" compiler option from CFLAGS variable.
* Install the compressed test-suite.log into the documentation directory
of the coreutils-testsuite package (section %check and %files).
* Properly guard the spec sections for the coreutils and the
coreutils-testsuite package.
* Update patches to reflect new line numbers.

- 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.
- 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".

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.
