I expect to make a new release of coreutils within a week or two. If you've been sitting on anything resembling a bug report, please send it in sooner rather than later.
Here's a new snapshot: coreutils snapshot: http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-ss.tar.gz 8.8 MB http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-ss.tar.lzma 3.6 MB http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-ss.tar.gz.sig http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-ss.tar.lzma.sig aka http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-6.10.133-677610.tar.gz http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-6.10.133-677610.tar.lzma All the details: http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=summary -------------------------- And here's the NEWS so far: -------------------------- ** Bug fixes configure --enable-no-install-program=groups now works. id now uses getgrouplist, when possible. This results in much better performance when there are many users and/or groups. ls no longer segfaults on files in /proc when linked with an older version of libselinux. E.g., ls -l /proc/sys would dereference a NULL pointer. mv would mistakenly unlink a destination file before calling rename, when the destination had two or more hard links. It no longer does that. [bug introduced in coreutils-5.3.0] "rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty" detects and ignores the failure in more cases when a directory is empty. "seq -f % 1" would issue the erroneous diagnostic "seq: memory exhausted" rather than reporting the invalid string format. [bug introduced in coreutils-6.0] ** New features join now verifies that the inputs are in sorted order. This check can be turned off with the --nocheck-order option. sort accepts the new option --sort=WORD, where WORD can be one of general-numeric, month, numeric or random. These are equivalent to the options --general-numeric-sort/-g, --month-sort/-M, --numeric-sort/-n and --random-sort/-R, resp. ** Improvements id and groups work around an AFS-related bug whereby those programs would print an invalid group number, when given no user-name argument. ls --color no longer outputs unnecessary escape sequences seq gives better diagnostics for invalid formats. ** Consistency install, mkdir, rmdir and split now write --verbose output to stdout, not to stderr. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
