We plan to release coreutils-9.8 early next week
so any testing you can do on various different systems
between now and then would be most welcome.
This release comes about 23 weeks after the 9.7 release.
--------------------------------------
You can download the coreutils snapshot in xz format (6.0 MiB) from:
https://pixelbeat.org/cu/coreutils-ss.tar.xz
And verify with gpg or md5sum with:
https://pixelbeat.org/cu/coreutils-ss.tar.xz.sig
MD5 (coreutils-ss.tar.xz) = 9ddb3e23954c0e2f087031bf9c8e5310
--------------------------------------
To test, follow this standard procedure:
tar -xf coreutils-ss.tar.xz
cd coreutils-9.7.327-71a8c/
./configure && make check VERBOSE=yes
Failures are shown, and details are in tests/test-suite.log
