** 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.
[bug introduced in coreutils-7.5]
** 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.

The "gnulib" package contains a number of floating-point test cases
that do not work correctly with the PowerPC long double ("double double")
format. These tests "accidentally" succeeded anyway in the big-endian
variant, but are now actually failing in little-endian mode.
As is usual for gnulib, those tests end up copied into the source code
of various packages that use gnulib, including coreutils, findutils,
grep, and libunistring.
A patch to fix the tests for ppc64le has been submitted to upstream
to the bug-gnulib mailing list. We'll work with upstream of the
other affected packages to make sure the copies are refreshed.
- coreutils-gnulib-tests-ppc64le.patch: Fix imported gnulib long double
math tests for little-endian PowerPC.

- Undo the previous change.
Remove configure options gl_cv_func_printf_directive_n and
gl_cv_func_printf_infinite_long_double again because of constant
factory build failures on x86_64 and i586. The argument for
adding them was that the fortify checks would be bypassed
by the gnulib "reimplementation of printf", but that is not
the case: instead, gnulib just adds some wrapping code to ensure
a consistent behaviour on all supported platforms.

coreutils-testsuite too.
- Don't call autoreconf on distributions older then 12.0
because their autoconf is too old.
- Update default posix version to 200112 (bnc#783352).
- Add coreutils-df-always-hide-rootfs.patch:
Hide rootfs in df (df not using yet /proc/self/mountinfo).
- Statically link to gmp otherwise expr depends on gmp and gmp
configure script depends on expr which creates a build cycle.
- Add the missing parts in coreutil.spec so that the testsuite is
only run when coreutils-testsuite is built. Also add additional
BuildRequires for the testsuite.
- Hardcode the name passed to find_lang so that it works for
coreutils-testsuite too.
- Don't call autoreconf on distributions older then 12.0
because their autoconf is too old.

* Bug fixes
tail's --follow=name option no longer implies --retry on systems
with inotify support. [bug introduced in coreutils-7.5]
* Changes in behavior
cp's extent-based (FIEMAP) copying code is more reliable in the face
of varying and undocumented file system semantics:
- it no longer treats unwritten extents specially
- a FIEMAP-based extent copy always uses the FIEMAP_FLAG_SYNC flag.
Before, it would incur the performance penalty of that sync only
for 2.6.38 and older kernels. We thought all problems would be
resolved for 2.6.39.
- it now attempts a FIEMAP copy only on a file that appears sparse.
Sparse files are relatively unusual, and the copying code incurs
the performance penalty of the now-mandatory sync only for them.
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/Base:System/coreutils?expand=0&rev=112
* Bug fixes
cp -a --link would not create a hardlink to a symlink, instead
copying the symlink and then not preserving its timestamp.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.0]
cp now avoids FIEMAP issues with BTRFS before Linux 2.6.38,
which could result in corrupt copies of sparse files.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.10]
cut could segfault when invoked with a user-specified output
delimiter and an unbounded range like "-f1234567890-".
[bug introduced in coreutils-5.3.0]
du would infloop when given --files0-from=DIR
[bug introduced in coreutils-7.1]
sort no longer spawns 7 worker threads to sort 16 lines
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.6]
touch built on Solaris 9 would segfault when run on Solaris 10
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.8]
wc would dereference a NULL pointer upon an early out-of-memory error
[bug introduced in coreutils-7.1]
** New features
dd now accepts the 'nocache' flag to the iflag and oflag options,
which will discard any cache associated with the files, or
processed portion thereof.
dd now warns that 'iflag=fullblock' should be used,
in various cases where partial reads can cause issues.
** Changes in behavior
cp now avoids syncing files when possible, when doing a FIEMAP copy.
The sync is only needed on Linux kernels before 2.6.39.
[The sync was introduced in coreutils-8.10]
