In view of the pending release, how about this NEWS fixup? commit 7dc398a30f9edee4af9d0676d7c682db0f83fa8d Author: Pádraig Brady <[email protected]> Date: Wed Apr 21 07:50:39 2010 +0100 maint: update a couple of NEWS items for the pending release * NEWS: Mention that cp and mv from the previous release did not support preserving extended attributes (fixed in e489fd04). Improve the grammar for the "cp capabilities" item. diff --git a/NEWS b/NEWS index 32ea392..c27419c 100644 --- a/NEWS +++ b/NEWS @@ -4,7 +4,10 @@ GNU coreutils NEWS -*- outline -*- ** Bug fixes - cp now preserves "capabilities" also when preserving file ownership. + cp and mv once again support preserving extended attributes. + [bug introduced in coreutils-8.4] + + cp now preserves "capabilities" when also preserving file ownership. ls --color once again honors the 'NORMAL' dircolors directive.
