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".
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/Base:System/coreutils?expand=0&rev=147
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).
For other changes since 7.1 see NEWS.
- Split-up coreutils-%%{version}.diff as far as possible.
- Prefix all patches with coreutils-.
- All patches have the .patch suffix.
- Use the i18n patch from Archlinux as it fixes at least one test
suite failure.
