- Update to util-linux-2.24
+ Release highlights (2.24)
fdisk(8):
* the code has been completely refactored and moved to libfdisk
(the library does not have a stable API yet)
* user interface has been unified for all label types and it
supports colors
* GPT disk UUID, partition UUID and partition name modification
is supported now
pylibmount:
* this new library provides PYTHON BINDINGS for libmount;
use --with-python[=2|3] to enable the bindings
last(1) and lastb(1):
* the NEW IMPLEMENTATION has been merged from sysvinit to
util-linux and extended; now it supports command line options
--present, --since, and --time-format
* use --enable-deprecated-last to enable the old util-linux
last(1) implementation
swapon(8):
* the option --discard= and fstab mount option discard= allow
to explicitly specify 'pages' or 'once' discard policy. If no
policy is selected, the default behavior is to enable both.
See swapon.8 man page for more details.
libblkid and blkid(8):
* supports LOGUUID= for external logs (e.g. extN and XFS)
* generates a pseudo PARTUUID= for MBR partitions (based on MBR
Id, Linux kernel supports the same concept for root= command
line option)
agetty(8):
* supportes new issue file \S escape code to read information

- Update to util-linux-2.24, see package changelog and
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/v2.24/v2.24-ReleaseNotes
Most notable spec file changes:
- Added enable_last condition in case we don't want to use the last
binary from sysvinit-tools in future
- Upstream moved getopt examples from datadir to docdir but we keep
the old location because we would need to fix the manpage first.

- Avoid build require gpg-offline twice
- Update to version 2.23.2:
nsenter(1):
* this NEW COMMAND provides command line interface to setns()
Linux syscall and allows to run program with namespaces of
other processes
unshare(1):
* supports new PID and USER namespaces
fdisk(8):
* provides experimental support for GUID Partition Table (GPT),
the implementation is still not complete and some (unimportant)
features are missing.
* ~50% of fdisk code has been refactored, this task is going to
be complete in the next release. The goal is to have libfdisk
shared between all fdisks.
partx(8):
* supports new "update" command (implemented by
BLKPG_RESIZE_PARTITION ioctl)
mount(8):
* supports new userspace mount option x-mount.mkdir[=<mode>] to
create mountpoints on demand
* the support for propagation flags has been improved, now the
flags could be specified in /etc/fstab and used together with
regular mount options. It's also possible to specify more
propagation flags together. This EXPERIMENTAL feature is
implemented by additional mount(2) syscalls, because Linux does
not allow to use propagation flags with another options or more
flags together.
umount(8):
* supports new command line option --recursive to recursively
unmount all sub-mounts for the specified mountpoint * supports
new command line option --all-targets to unmount all
mountpoints in the current namespace for the specified
filesystem * the options --recursive and --all-targets could be
used together
dmesg(1):
* supports new command line options --color, --human and
--nopager, the --human option enables relative times, colors and
pager support.
su(1):
* supports new command line options --group and --supp-group to
specify primary and supplementary groups
chfn(1) and chsh(1):
* the commands could be linked with libuser to support non-local
accounts modification (e.g. LDAP, etc).
kill(1):
* the command has been improved to be compatible with procps
version, the procps version is deprecated now, the util-linux
version is enabled by default.
blkdiscard(8):
* this NEW COMMAND discard sectors on a device (for example on
SSD disks)
sulogin(8):
* provides multi-console feature from SysVinit
findmnt(8):
* provides new columns FREQ, PASSNO, ID, OPT-FIELDS, PROPAGATION
lslocks(8):
* provides new column BLOCKER and detects blocked locks
lsblk(8):
* supports new command line option --scsi and new columns HCTL,
TRANsport VENDOR and REVision
swapon(8) and losetup(8):
* the commands prints basic overview by default if no option
specified
column(1):
* supports new command line option --output-separator to specify
table output delimiter
rename(1):
* supports new command line option --symlink to rename symlink
target
hwclock(8):
* supports new command line option --compare to periodically
compare the Hardware Clock to the System Time (based on
adjtimex -c)
ipcs(1):
* supports new command line options --bytes and --human
wipefs(1):
* supports new command line option --force to force erase on used
devices

mkfs.bfs_cleanup_endian.patch)

VERIFY_SIG is not set, as it is expected to cause build loops.
If you want to set it to 1, then it would depend on request 198583.
