- Add upstream patch (coreutils-copy-fix-selinux-existing-dirs.patch):
cp -a: set the correct SELinux context on already existing
destination directories (rh#1045122).
- Merge I18n fixes from Fedora (coreutils-i18n.patch):
* sort: fix sorting by non-first field (rh#1003544)
* cut: avoid using slower multi-byte code in non-UTF-8 locales
(rh#1021403, rh#499220).
- Testsuite: skip some tests:
* coreutils-skip-some-sort-tests-on-ppc.patch: Add patch to
skip 2 valgrind'ed sort tests on ppc/ppc64.
* coreutils-skip-gnulib-test-tls.patch: Add patch to skip
the gnulib test 'test-tls' on i586, x86_64, ppc and ppc64.
* coreutils-tests-avoid-FP-cp-cpuinfo.patch: Add patch to skip a
test when cp fails for /proc/cpuinfo which happens on aarch64.
* coreutils-tests-shorten-extreme-factor-tests.patch: Add patch
to skip most of the extreme-expensive factor tests.

OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/Base:System/coreutils?expand=0&rev=221
* 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".

** 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.
- Include upstream patch fixing basename documentation.
