------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Feb 10 16:27:39 UTC 2017 - msuchanek@suse.com - Add coreutils-install-allow-options-D-and-t-to-be-used-together.patch which fixes OBS build problems (boo#1024551). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Aug 23 20:18:52 UTC 2016 - mail@bernhard-voelker.de - coreutils-chmod-fix-erroneous-warnings-with-R-changes.patch: add upstream patch: chmod: fix erroneous warnings with -R --changes (boo#994678) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Dec 18 12:15:44 CET 2015 - pth@suse.de - Add coreutils-df-fix-local-hanging-with-inaccessible-remote-mounts.patch that fixes hanging df when remount mounts are inaccessible (bsc#954222). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Jun 3 10:56:39 UTC 2015 - mail@bernhard-voelker.de - coreutils-doc-adjust-reference-to-info-nodes-in-man-pages.patch: add upstream patch: doc: adjust reference to info nodes in man pages (boo#933396) - coreutils-i18n.patch: Use a later version of the previous patch to fix the sort I18N issue (boo#928749, CVE-2015-4041) to also avoid CVE-2015-4042. https://github.com/pixelb/coreutils/commit/bea5e36cc876 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue May 12 08:56:13 UTC 2015 - mail@bernhard-voelker.de - Fix memory handling error with case insensitive sort using UTF-8 (boo#928749): coreutils-i18n.patch src/sort.c (keycompare_mb): Ensure the buffer is big enough to handle anything output from wctomb(). Theoretically any input char could be converted to multiple output chars, and so we need to multiply the storage by MB_LEN_MAX. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Mar 16 11:52:08 CET 2015 -

Update to 8.22 (2013-12-13) [stable] ** Bug fixes df now processes the mount list correctly in the presence of unstatable mount points. Previously it may have failed to output some mount points. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.21] df now processes symbolic links and relative paths to special files containing a mounted file system correctly. Previously df displayed the statistics about the file system the file is stored on rather than the one inside. [This bug was present in "the beginning".] df now processes disk device nodes correctly in the presence of bind mounts. Now df shows the base mounted file system rather than the last one mounted. [This bug was present in "the beginning".] install now removes the target file if the strip program failed for any reason. Before, that file was left behind, sometimes even with wrong permissions. [This bug was present in "the beginning".] ln --relative now updates existing symlinks correctly. Previously it based the relative link on the dereferenced path of an existing link. [This bug was introduced when --relative was added in coreutils-8.16.] ls --recursive will no longer exit with "serious" exit code (2), if there is an error reading a directory not specified on the command line. [Bug introduced in coreutils-5.3.0] mkdir, mkfifo, and mknod now work better when creating a file in a directory with a default ACL whose umask disagrees with the process's umask, on a system such as GNU/Linux where directory ACL umasks override process umasks. [bug introduced in coreutils-6.0] mv will now replace empty directories in the destination with directories from the source, when copying across file systems. [This bug was present in "the beginning".] od -wN with N larger than 64K on a system with 32-bit size_t would print approximately 2*N bytes of extraneous padding. [Bug introduced in coreutils-7.0] rm -I now prompts for confirmation before removing a write protected file. [Bug introduced in coreutils-6.8] shred once again uses direct I/O on systems requiring aligned buffers. Also direct I/O failures for odd sized writes at end of file are now handled. [The "last write" bug was introduced in coreutils-5.3.0 but masked by the alignment bug introduced in coreutils-6.0] tail --retry -f now waits for the files specified to appear. Before, tail would immediately exit when such a file is initially inaccessible. [This bug was introduced when inotify support was added in coreutils-7.5] tail -F has improved handling of symlinks. Previously tail didn't respond to the symlink target (re)appearing after being (re)created. [This bug was introduced when inotify support was added in coreutils-7.5] ** New features cp, install, mkdir, mknod, mkfifo and mv now support "restorecon" functionality through the -Z option, to set the SELinux context appropriate for the new item location in the file system. csplit accepts a new option: --suppressed-matched, to elide the lines used to identify the split points. df --output now accepts a 'file' field, to propagate a specified command line argument through to the output. du accepts a new option: --inodes to show the number of inodes instead of the blocks used. id accepts a new option: --zero (-z) to delimit the output entries by a NUL instead of a white space character. id and ls with -Z report the SMACK security context where available. mkdir, mkfifo and mknod with -Z set the SMACK context where available. id can now lookup by user ID, in addition to the existing name lookup. join accepts a new option: --zero-terminated (-z). As with the sort,uniq option of the same name, this makes join consume and produce NUL-terminated lines rather than newline-terminated lines. uniq accepts a new option: --group to print all items, while separating unique groups with empty lines. shred accepts new parameters to the --remove option to give greater control over that operation, which can greatly reduce sync overhead. shuf accepts a new option: --repeat (-r), which can repeat items in the output. ** Changes in behavior cp --link now dereferences a symbolic link as source before creating the hard link in the destination unless the -P,--no-deref option is specified. Previously, it would create a hard link of the symbolic link, even when the dereferencing options -L or -H were specified. cp, install, mkdir, mknod and mkfifo no longer accept an argument to the short -Z option. The --context equivalent still takes an optional argument. dd status=none now suppresses all non fatal diagnostic messages, not just the transfer counts. df no longer accepts the long-obsolescent --megabytes option. stdbuf now requires at least one buffering mode option to be specified, as per the documented interface. ** Improvements base64 encoding throughput for bulk data is increased by about 60%. md5sum can use libcrypto hash routines where allowed to potentially get better performance through using more system specific logic. sha1sum for example has improved throughput by 40% on an i3-2310M. This also affects sha1sum, sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum and sha512sum. stat and tail work better with EFIVARFS, EXOFS, F2FS, HOSTFS, SMACKFS, SNFS and UBIFS. stat -f --format=%T now reports the file system type, and tail -f now uses inotify for files on all those except SNFS, rather than the default (for unknown file system types) of issuing a warning and reverting to polling. shuf outputs subsets of large inputs much more efficiently. Reservoir sampling is used to limit memory usage based on the number of outputs, rather than the number of inputs. shred increases the default write block size from 12KiB to 64KiB to align with other utilities and reduce the system call overhead. split --line-bytes=SIZE, now only allocates memory as needed rather than allocating SIZE bytes at program start. stty now supports configuring "stick" (mark/space) parity where available. ** Build-related factor now builds on aarch64 based systems [bug introduced in coreutils-8.20] ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Dec 19 23:37:39 UTC 2013 - uweigand@de.ibm.com - coreutils-gnulib-tests-ppc64le.patch: Fix imported gnulib long double math tests for little-endian PowerPC. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Dec 19 22:54:26 UTC 2013 - mail@bernhard-voelker.de - Fix issue with binary input in non-C locale (rh#1036289) (coreutils-i18n.patch): Initialize memory for some edge cases in the i18n patch for uniq and join. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Dec 11 20:22:47 UTC 2013 - mail@bernhard-voelker.de - Avoid false sort test failure (coreutils-i18n.patch): As for the C locale, skip the multi-byte test case 'output-is-input-mb.p'. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sat Dec 7 19:15:40 UTC 2013 - schwab@linux-m68k.org - Require valgrind only when it exists ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sun Dec 1 22:48:48 UTC 2013 - mail@bernhard-voelker.de - Update I18N patch from Fedora: (coreutils-i18n.patch) * sort: fix multibyte incompabilities (rh#821264) * pr -e, with a mix of backspaces and TABs, could corrupt the heap in multibyte locales (analyzed by J.Koncicky) * path in the testsuite to cover i18n regressions * Enable cut and sort-merge perl tests for multibyte as well - Refresh longlong-aarch64.patch. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Aug 7 08:10:22 UTC 2013 - mail@bernhard-voelker.de - Remove "BuildRequires: help2man" as it is included. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Aug 6 14:02:42 CEST 2013 - pth@suse.de - Remove the the unnecessary povision of itself as rpmbuild takes care of that. - Remove all traces of coreutils-8.9-singlethreaded-sort.patch in the spec file. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Jul 23 13:22:21 UTC 2013 - mail@bernhard-voelker.de - 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Jul 8 15:09:22 UTC 2013 - schwab@suse.de - Override broken configure checks - coreutils-gl_printf_safe.patch: remove unused patch ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sun Jun 16 23:59:28 UTC 2013 - jengelh@inai.de - Explicitly list libattr-devel as BuildRequires - More robust make install call ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Jun 7 14:36:26 UTC 2013 - schwab@suse.de - longlong-aarch64.patch: fix build on aarch64 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Jun 7 01:50:04 UTC 2013 - mail@bernhard-voelker.de - Remove su(1) and kill(1) - both are provided by util-linux now. * su.pamd, su.default, coreutils-su.patch: Remove patch and PAM config files related to su(1). * coreutils-remove_kill_documentation.patch: Add patch to remove kill from the texinfo manual. * coreutils.spec: Remove above, su-related patch and sources. Remove Requires:pam and BuildRequires:pam-devel. Remove Provides:/bin/{su,kill}. Remove paragraph mentioning su(1) and kill(1) in %description. Remove `moving su trickery` and other left-overs from %install, %post and %files. Remove %posttrans and %verifyscript sections (as these contained su-related stuff). Add code to %install to remove kill's program and man page. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon May 20 15:38:30 UTC 2013 - mail@bernhard-voelker.de - Try to fix nap() races in gnulib-tests. (coreutils-gnulib-tests-fix-nap-race.patch: add upstream patch) (coreutils-gnulib-tests-fix-nap-race-obs.patch: add openSUSE patch for OBS) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed May 15 11:26:29 UTC 2013 - mhrusecky@suse.com - Provides: /bin/{kill,su} * for compatibility with programs requiring these (like lsb) until these will be provided by util-linux ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Apr 4 23:25:17 UTC 2013 - mail@bernhard-voelker.de - Fix source url for coreutils-testsuite. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Mar 21 11:55:13 UTC 2013 - mmeister@suse.com - Added url as source. Please see http://en.opensuse.org/SourceUrls ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Mar 21 11:54:05 UTC 2013 - mail@bernhard-voelker.de - Fix multibyte issue in unexpand (rh#821262) (coreutils-i18n.patch: patch by Roman Kollár <rkollar@redhat.com>) - Fix cut to terminate mbdelim string Otherwise, cut might do an unbounded strdup of the delimiter string in i18n mode (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=911929) (coreutils-i18n.patch, from Mark Wielaard <mjw@redhat.com>) - Add su(1) again Now, su(1) will be provided via a symlink trick to the file installed with a ".core" suffix. By this, we can upgrade to 8.21 without having to wait for a util-linux version providing it. * coreutils-su.patch: Add cumulative su patch from previous Base:System version 8.17, ported to 8.21 build structure. This supersedes the following partial patches: coreutils-8.6-compile-su-with-fpie.diff, coreutils-8.6-honor-settings-in-etc-default-su-resp-etc-login.defs.diff, coreutils-8.6-log-all-su-attempts.diff, coreutils-8.6-make-sure-sbin-resp-usr-sbin-are-in-PATH.diff, coreutils-8.6-pam-support-for-su.diff, coreutils-8.6-set-sane-default-path.diff, coreutils-8.6-update-man-page-for-pam.diff, coreutils-bnc#697897-setsid.patch. * pam, pam-devel: Add as requirements, also during build. * coreutils.spec (%description): Clarify that su is included although removed upstreams. (%install): Install su+kill files with suffix ".core". (%post): Move setting permissions on su from %posttrans to %install. (%posttrans): Create symlinks to files with ".core" suffix unless already existing. - Install kill(1) with the same symlink trick. - Remove now-obsolete patches and files: * coreutils-8.17.de.po.xz: * coreutils-8.17.tar.xz: Remove sources + translation of previous version * coreutils-acl-nofollow.patch: * coreutils-basename_documentation.patch: * coreutils-cp-corrupt-fragmented-sparse.patch: * coreutils-df-always-hide-rootfs.patch: * coreutils-skip-du-slink-test.patch: Fixed upstream. * coreutils-getaddrinfo.patch: * coreutils-misc.patch: * coreutils-no_silent-rule.patch: Remove test and build related patches. * coreutils-ptr_int_casts.patch: Remove because merged into coreutils-i18n.patch. - Add files: * coreutils-8.21.tar.xz: Add tarball of the new upstream version * coreutils-8.21.de.po.xz: Add language file. - Update patches: * coreutils-i18n.patch Merge some Fedora changes to keep the i18n patch like theirs. Fix and cleanup sort's multibyte test with incorporated test data. * coreutils-remove_hostname_documentation.patch - Add patch to build 'timeout' as PIE (OBS requires it). This patch actually was included in one of the old su patches. * new patch name: coreutils-build-timeout-as-pie.patch - Temporary disable some questionable patches (by commenting in the spec file): * coreutils-gl_printf_safe.patch * coreutils-8.9-singlethreaded-sort.patch - Change build / spec file: * Bump version from 8.17 to 8.21. * Fix macro invocation in "Provides" for stat. * Remove ancient "Obsoletes" entries. * Remove/add the above removed/added sources and patches. * Temporarily comment the code for statically linking LIB_GMP (as it does not work). * Remove -Wall from CFLAGS as it is already included in OBS' default options. * Remove the --without-included-regex option to use coreutils' regex implementation. * Remove custom gl_cv_func_printf_directive_n and gl_cv_func_isnanl_works. * Touch "man/*.x" to force the rebuild of the man pages. * Make sort's multi-byte test script executable in %check section. * Hardcode package name for "%find_lang" and "%files lang -f" lines. * In the %files section, add the COPYING and THANKS files. Furthermore, fix the path to the LC_TIME files. * Change package description to accomodate to added programs (hostid, nproc, realpath, stdbuf, truncate) and mention the hacky installation of programs to move (kill, su). - Update to 8.21 (2013-02-14) [stable] ** New programs numfmt: reformat numbers ** New features df now accepts the --output[=FIELD_LIST] option to define the list of columns to include in the output, or all available columns if the FIELD_LIST is omitted. Note this enables df to output both block and inode fields together. du now accepts the --threshold=SIZE option to restrict the output to entries with such a minimum SIZE (or a maximum SIZE if it is negative). du recognizes -t SIZE as equivalent, for compatibility with FreeBSD. ** Bug fixes cp --no-preserve=mode now no longer exits non-zero. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.20] cut with a range like "N-" no longer allocates N/8 bytes. That buffer would never be used, and allocation failure could cause cut to fail. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.10] cut no longer accepts the invalid range 0-, which made it print empty lines. Instead, cut now fails and emits an appropriate diagnostic. [This bug was present in "the beginning".] cut now handles overlapping to-EOL ranges properly. Before, it would interpret "-b2-,3-" like "-b3-". Now it's treated like "-b2-". [This bug was present in "the beginning".] cut no longer prints extraneous delimiters when a to-EOL range subsumes another range. Before, "echo 123|cut --output-delim=: -b2-,3" would print "2:3". Now it prints "23". [bug introduced in 5.3.0] cut -f no longer inspects input line N+1 before fully outputting line N, which avoids delayed output for intermittent input. [bug introduced in TEXTUTILS-1_8b] factor no longer loops infinitely on 32 bit powerpc or sparc systems. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.20] install -m M SOURCE DEST no longer has a race condition where DEST's permissions are temporarily derived from SOURCE instead of from M. pr -n no longer crashes when passed values >= 32. Also, line numbers are consistently padded with spaces, rather than with zeros for certain widths. [bug introduced in TEXTUTILS-1_22i] seq -w ensures that for numbers input in scientific notation, the output numbers are properly aligned and of the correct width. [This bug was present in "the beginning".] seq -w ensures correct alignment when the step value includes a precision while the start value does not, and the number sequence narrows. [This bug was present in "the beginning".] seq -s no longer prints an erroneous newline after the first number, and outputs a newline after the last number rather than a trailing separator. Also seq no longer ignores a specified step value when the end value is 1. [bugs introduced in coreutils-8.20] timeout now ensures that blocking of ALRM signals is not inherited from its parent, which would cause timeouts to be ignored. [the bug dates back to the initial implementation] ** Changes in behavior df --total now prints '-' into the target column (mount point) of the summary line, accommodating the --output option where the target field can be in any column. If there is no source column, then df prints 'total' in the target column. df now properly outputs file system information with bind mounts present on the system by skipping duplicate entries (identified by the device number). Consequently, df also elides the early-boot pseudo file system type "rootfs". nl no longer supports the --page-increment option, which has been deprecated since coreutils-7.5. Use --line-increment instead. ** Improvements readlink now supports multiple arguments, and a complementary -z, --zero option to delimit output items with the NUL character. stat and tail now know about CEPH. stat -f --format=%T now reports the file system type, and tail -f uses polling for files on CEPH file systems. stty now supports configuring DTR/DSR hardware flow control where available. ** Build-related Perl is now more of a prerequisite. It has long been required in order to run (not skip) a significant percentage of the tests. Now, it is also required in order to generate proper man pages, via help2man. The generated man/*.1 man pages are no longer distributed. Building without perl, you would create stub man pages. Thus, while perl is not an official prerequisite (build and "make check" will still succeed), any resulting man pages would be inferior. In addition, this fixes a bug in distributed (not from clone) Makefile.in that could cause parallel build failure when building from modified sources, as is common practice for a patched distribution package. factor now builds on x86_64 with x32 ABI, 32 bit MIPS, and all HPPA systems, by avoiding incompatible asm. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.20] A root-only test predicate would always fail. Its job was to determine whether our dummy user, $NON_ROOT_USERNAME, was able to run binaries from the build directory. As a result, all dependent tests were always skipped. Now, those tests may be run once again. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.20] - Update to 8.20 (2012-10-23) [stable] ** New features dd now accepts 'status=none' to suppress all informational output. md5sum now accepts the --tag option to print BSD-style output with GNU file name escaping. This also affects sha1sum, sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum and sha512sum. ** Bug fixes cp could read from freed memory and could even make corrupt copies. This could happen with a very fragmented and sparse input file, on GNU/Linux file systems supporting fiemap extent scanning. This bug also affects mv when it resorts to copying, and install. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.11] cp --no-preserve=mode now no longer preserves the original file's permissions but correctly sets mode specified by 0666 & ~umask du no longer emits a "disk-corrupted"-style diagnostic when it detects a directory cycle that is due to a bind-mounted directory. Instead, it detects this precise type of cycle, diagnoses it as such and eventually exits nonzero. factor (when using gmp) would mistakenly declare some composite numbers to be prime, e.g., 465658903, 2242724851, 6635692801 and many more. The fix makes factor somewhat slower (~25%) for ranges of consecutive numbers, and up to 8 times slower for some worst-case individual numbers. [bug introduced in coreutils-7.0, with GNU MP support] ls now correctly colors dangling symlinks when listing their containing directories, with orphaned symlink coloring disabled in LS_COLORS. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.14] rm -i -d now prompts the user then removes an empty directory, rather than ignoring the -d option and failing with an 'Is a directory' error. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.19, with the addition of --dir (-d)] rm -r S/ (where S is a symlink-to-directory) no longer gives the invalid "Too many levels of symbolic links" diagnostic. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.6] seq now handles arbitrarily long non-negative whole numbers when the increment is 1 and when no format-changing option is specified. Before, this would infloop: b=100000000000000000000; seq $b $b [the bug dates back to the initial implementation] ** Changes in behavior nproc now diagnoses with an error, non option command line parameters. ** Improvements factor's core has been rewritten for speed and increased range. It can now factor numbers up to 2^128, even without GMP support. Its speed is from a few times better (for small numbers) to over 10,000 times better (just below 2^64). The new code also runs a deterministic primality test for each prime factor, not just a probabilistic test. seq is now up to 70 times faster than it was in coreutils-8.19 and prior, but only with non-negative whole numbers, an increment of 1, and no format-changing options. stat and tail know about ZFS, VZFS and VMHGFS. stat -f --format=%T now reports the file system type, and tail -f now uses inotify for files on ZFS and VZFS file systems, rather than the default (for unknown file system types) of issuing a warning and reverting to polling. tail -f still uses polling for files on VMHGFS file systems. ** Build-related root-only tests now check for permissions of our dummy user, $NON_ROOT_USERNAME, before trying to run binaries from the build directory. Before, we would get hard-to-diagnose reports of failing root-only tests. Now, those tests are skipped with a useful diagnostic when the root tests are run without following the instructions in README. We now build most directories using non-recursive make rules. I.e., rather than running make in man/, lib/, src/, tests/, instead, the top level Makefile.am includes a $dir/local.mk that describes how to build the targets in the corresponding directory. Two directories remain unconverted: po/, gnulib-tests/. One nice side-effect is that the more accurate dependencies have eliminated a nagging occasional failure that was seen when running parallel "make syntax-check". - Update to 8.19 (2012-08-20) [stable] ** Bug fixes df now fails when the list of mounted file systems (/etc/mtab) cannot be read, yet the file system type information is needed to process certain options like -a, -l, -t and -x. [This bug was present in "the beginning".] sort -u could fail to output one or more result lines. For example, this command would fail to print "1": (yes 7 | head -11; echo 1) | sort --p=1 -S32b -u [bug introduced in coreutils-8.6] sort -u could read freed memory. For example, this evokes a read from freed memory: perl -le 'print "a\n"."0"x900'|valgrind sort --p=1 -S32b -u>/dev/null [bug introduced in coreutils-8.6] ** New features rm now accepts the --dir (-d) option which makes it remove empty directories. Since removing empty directories is relatively safe, this option can be used as a part of the alias rm='rm --dir'. This improves compatibility with Mac OS X and BSD systems which also honor the -d option. - Update to 8.18 (2012-08-12) [stable] ** Bug fixes cksum now prints checksums atomically so that concurrent processes will not intersperse their output. [the bug dates back to the initial implementation] date -d "$(printf '\xb0')" would print 00:00:00 with today's date rather than diagnosing the invalid input. Now it reports this: date: invalid date '\260' [This bug was present in "the beginning".] df no longer outputs control characters present in the mount point name. Such characters are replaced with '?', so for example, scripts consuming lines output by df, can work reliably. [This bug was present in "the beginning".] df --total now exits with an appropriate diagnostic and error code, when file system --type options do not lead to a processed file system. [This bug dates back to when --total was added in coreutils-7.0] head --lines=-N (-n-N) now resets the read pointer of a seekable input file. This means that "head -n-3" no longer consumes all of its input, and lines not output by head may be processed by other programs. For example, this command now prints the final line, 2, while before it would print nothing: seq 2 > k; (head -n-1 > /dev/null; cat) < k [This bug was present in "the beginning".] ls --color would mis-color relative-named symlinks in / [bug introduced in coreutils-8.17] split now ensures it doesn't overwrite the input file with generated output. [the bug dates back to the initial implementation] stat and df now report the correct file system usage, in all situations on GNU/Linux, by correctly determining the block size. [df bug since coreutils-5.0.91, stat bug since the initial implementation] tail -f no longer tries to use inotify on AUFS or PanFS file systems [you might say this was introduced in coreutils-7.5, along with inotify support, but even now, its magic number isn't in the usual place.] ** New features stat -f recognizes the new remote file system types: aufs, panfs. ** Changes in behavior su: this program has been removed. We stopped installing "su" by default with the release of coreutils-6.9.90 on 2007-12-01. Now, that the util-linux package has the union of the Suse and Fedora patches as well as enough support to build on the Hurd, we no longer have any reason to include it here. ** Improvements sort avoids redundant processing in the presence of inaccessible inputs, or unwritable output. Sort now diagnoses certain errors at start-up, rather than after potentially expensive processing. sort now allocates no more than 75% of physical memory by default, to better share system resources, and thus operate more efficiently.

This was previously 32KiB and increasing to 64KiB was seen to increase throughput by about 10% when reading cached files on 64 bit GNU/Linux. * cp --attributes-only no longer truncates any existing destination file, allowing for more general copying of attributes from one file to another. - Bring german message catalog up-to-date ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue May 15 22:34:03 UTC 2012 - schwab@linux-m68k.org - Build factor with gmp support ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon May 7 14:22:29 CEST 2012 - pth@suse.de - Two new upstream patches: * id and groups, when invoked with no user name argument, would print the default group ID listed in the password database, and sometimes that ID would be neither real nor effective. For example, when run set-GID, or in a session for which the default group has just been changed, the new group ID would be listed, even though it is not yet effective. * 'cp S D' is no longer subject to a race: if an existing D were removed between the initial stat and subsequent open-without-O_CREAT, cp would fail with a confusing diagnostic saying that the destination, D, was not found. Now, in this unusual case, it retries the open (but with O_CREAT), and hence usually succeeds. With NFS attribute caching, the condition was particularly easy to trigger, since there, the removal of D could precede the initial stat.

Also the complementary -z option was added to delimit output items with the NUL character. * dirname now supports more than one argument. Also the complementary z option was added to delimit output items with the NUL character. - Bug fixes * du --one-file-system (-x) would ignore any non-directory specified on the command line.

For example, "touch f; du -x f" would print nothing. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.14] du -x no longer counts root directories of other file systems. [bug introduced in coreutils-5.1.0] ls --color many-entry-directory was uninterruptible for too long [bug introduced in coreutils-5.2.1] ls's -k option no longer affects how ls -l outputs file sizes. It now affects only the per-directory block counts written by -l, and the sizes written by -s. This is for compatibility with BSD and with POSIX 2008. Because -k is no longer equivalent to --block-size=1KiB, a new long option --kibibyte stands for -k. [bug introduced in coreutils-4.5.4] ls -l would leak a little memory (security context string) for each nonempty directory listed on the command line, when using SELinux. [bug probably introduced in coreutils-6.10 with SELinux support] split -n 1/2 FILE no longer fails when operating on a growing file, or (on some systems) when operating on a non-regular file like /dev/zero. It would report "/dev/zero: No such file or directory" even though the file obviously exists. Same for -n l/2. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.8, with the addition of the -n option] stat -f now recognizes the FhGFS and PipeFS file system types. tac no longer fails to handle two or more non-seekable inputs [bug introduced in coreutils-5.3.0] tail -f no longer tries to use inotify on GPFS or FhGFS file systems [you might say this was introduced in coreutils-7.5, along with inotify support, but the new magic numbers weren't in the usual places then.] ** Changes in behavior df avoids long UUID-including file system names in the default listing. With recent enough kernel/tools, these long names would be used, pushing second and subsequent columns far to the right. Now, when a long name refers to a symlink, and no file systems are specified, df prints the usually-short referent instead. tail -f now uses polling (not inotify) when any of its file arguments resides on a file system of unknown type. In addition, for each such argument, tail -f prints a warning with the FS type magic number and a request to report it to the bug-reporting address. - Bring german message catalog up to date. - Include upstream fix for du. - Include upstream patch fixing basename documentation. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Feb 6 17:18:37 UTC 2012 - rschweikert@suse.com - keep binaries in /usr (UserMerge project) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Dec 19 15:09:12 UTC 2011 - lnussel@suse.de - Adjust license for coreutils-8.6-honor-settings-in-etc-default-su-resp-etc-login.defs.diff [bnc#735081]. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Dec 2 08:09:09 UTC 2011 - cfarrell@suse.com - license update: GPL-3.0+ Consolidate to GPL-3.0+ and use SPDX format (http://www.spdx.org/licenses).

Changes since 8.12: Bug fixes: - ls --dereference no longer outputs erroneous "argetm" strings for dangling symlinks when an 'ln=target' entry is in $LS_COLORS. [bug introduced in fileutils-4.0] - ls -lL symlink once again properly prints "+" when the referent has an ACL. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.13] - sort -g no longer infloops for certain inputs containing NaNs [bug introduced in coreutils-8.5] - chown and chgrp with the -v --from= options, now output the correct owner. I.E. for skipped files, the original ownership is output, not the new one. [bug introduced in sh-utils-2.0g] - cp -r could mistakenly change the permissions of an existing destination directory. [bug introduced in coreutils-6.8] - cp -u -p would fail to preserve one hard link for each up-to-date copy of a src-hard-linked name in the destination tree. I.e., if s/a and s/b are hard-linked and dst/s/a is up to date, "cp -up s dst" would copy s/b to dst/s/b rather than simply linking dst/s/b to dst/s/a. [This bug appears to have been present in "the beginning".] - fts-using tools (rm, du, chmod, chgrp, chown, chcon) no longer use memory proportional to the number of entries in each directory they process. Before, rm -rf 4-million-entry-directory would consume about 1GiB of memory. Now, it uses less than 30MB, no matter how many entries there are. [this bug was inherent in the use of fts: thus, for rm the bug was introduced in coreutils-8.0. The prior implementation of rm did not use as much memory. du, chmod, chgrp and chown started using fts in 6.0. chcon was added in coreutils-6.9.91 with fts support. ] - pr -T no longer ignores a specified LAST_PAGE to stop at. [bug introduced in textutils-1.19q] - printf '%d' '"' no longer accesses out-of-bounds memory in the diagnostic. [bug introduced in sh-utils-1.16] - split --number l/... no longer creates extraneous files in certain cases. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.8] - timeout now sends signals to commands that create their own process group. timeout is no longer confused when starting off with a child process. [bugs introduced in coreutils-7.0] - unexpand -a now aligns correctly when there are spaces spanning a tabstop, followed by a tab. In that case a space was dropped, causing misalignment. We also now ensure that a space never precedes a tab. [bug introduced in coreutils-5.3.0] New features: - date now accepts ISO 8601 date-time strings with "T" as the separator. It has long parsed dates like "2004-02-29 16:21:42" with a space between the date and time strings. Now it also parses "2004-02-29T16:21:42" and fractional-second and time-zone-annotated variants like "2004-02-29T16:21:42.333-07:00" - md5sum accepts the new --strict option. With --check, it makes the tool exit non-zero for any invalid input line, rather than just warning. This also affects sha1sum, sha224sum, sha384sum and sha512sum. - split accepts a new --filter=CMD option. With it, split filters output through CMD. CMD may use the $FILE environment variable, which is set to the nominal output file name for each invocation of CMD. For example, to split a file into 3 approximately equal parts, which are then compressed: split -n3 --filter='xz > $FILE.xz' big Note the use of single quotes, not double quotes. That creates files named xaa.xz, xab.xz and xac.xz. - timeout accepts a new --foreground option, to support commands not started directly from a shell prompt, where the command is interactive or needs to receive signals initiated from the terminal. Improvements: - md5sum --check now supports the -r format from the corresponding BSD tool. This also affects sha1sum, sha224sum, sha384sum and sha512sum. - pwd now works also on systems without openat. On such systems, pwd would fail when run from a directory whose absolute name contained more than PATH_MAX / 3 components. The df, stat and readlink programs are also affected due to their use of the canonicalize_* functions. - join --check-order now prints "join: FILE:LINE_NUMBER: bad_line" for an unsorted input, rather than e.g., "join: file 1 is not in sorted order". - shuf outputs small subsets of large permutations much more efficiently. For example `shuf -i1-$((2**32-1)) -n2` no longer exhausts memory. - stat -f now recognizes the GPFS, MQUEUE and PSTOREFS file system types. - timeout now supports sub-second timeouts. Changes in behavior: - chmod, chown and chgrp now output the original attributes in messages, when -v or -c specified. - cp -au (where --preserve=links is implicit) may now replace newer files in the destination, to mirror hard links from the source. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sat Sep 17 23:29:33 UTC 2011 - jengelh@medozas.de - Remove redundant tags/sections from specfile ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Aug 2 00:26:05 UTC 2011 - lchiquitto@suse.com - file-has-acl: use acl_extended_file_nofollow if available to avoid triggering unwanted AutoFS mounts (bnc#701659). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue May 3 16:42:41 CEST 2011 - pth@suse.de - Remove services. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue May 3 14:28:01 CEST 2011 - ro@suse.de - delete coreutils-testsuite.spec ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Apr 28 15:35:59 CEST 2011 - pth@suse.de - Update to 8.12: * 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. - Add complete german meesage catalogue. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Apr 14 14:46:41 CEST 2011 - pth@suse.de - Update to 8.11: * 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] cp now copies empty extents efficiently, when doing a FIEMAP copy. It no longer reads the zero bytes from the input, and also can efficiently create a hole in the output file when --sparse=always is specified. df now aligns columns consistently, and no longer wraps entries with longer device identifiers, over two lines. install now rejects its long-deprecated --preserve_context option. Use --preserve-context instead. test now accepts "==" as a synonym for "=" ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Apr 5 15:13:42 CEST 2011 - pth@suse.de - Adapt coreutils-testsuite.spec to changes in patches. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Apr 5 11:40:19 CEST 2011 - pth@suse.de - Remove unneeded split_suffix patch. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Apr 4 16:13:04 CEST 2011 - pth@suse.de - Remove the last patch as it isn't needed.

[bug introduced in coreutils-5.1.0] - join --header now skips the ordering check for the first line even if the other file is empty. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.5] - rm -f no longer fails for EINVAL or EILSEQ on file systems that reject file names invalid for that file system. - uniq -f NUM no longer tries to process fields after end of line. [bug introduced in coreutils-7.0] * New features - cp now copies sparse files efficiently on file systems with FIEMAP support (ext4, btrfs, xfs, ocfs2). Before, it had to read 2^20 bytes when copying a 1MiB sparse file. Now, it copies bytes only for the non-sparse sections of a file. Similarly, to induce a hole in the output file, it had to detect a long sequence of zero bytes. Now, it knows precisely where each hole in an input file is, and can reproduce them efficiently in the output file. mv also benefits when it resorts to copying, e.g., between file systems. - join now supports -o 'auto' which will automatically infer the output format from the first line in each file, to ensure the same number of fields are output for each line. * Changes in behavior - join no longer reports disorder when one of the files is empty. This allows one to use join as a field extractor like: join -a1 -o 1.3,1.1 - /dev/null - Add upstream patch that fixes a segfault in cut. - Add upstream patch to fix sparse fiemap tests. - Fix i18n patch for join. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Jan 14 14:13:28 CET 2011 - uli@suse.de - sort threading still broken, it deadlocks occasionally; set default number of threads to 1 as a workaround ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Jan 5 14:25:16 CET 2011 - pth@suse.de - Update to 8.9: Bug fixes split no longer creates files with a suffix length that is dependent on the number of bytes or lines per file. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.8] ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Jan 3 19:32:57 CET 2011 - pth@suse.de - Update to 8.8. Changes since 8.6: Bug fixes: cp -u no longer does unnecessary copying merely because the source has finer-grained time stamps than the destination. od now prints floating-point numbers without losing information, and it no longer omits spaces between floating-point columns in some cases. sort -u with at least two threads could attempt to read through a corrupted pointer. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.6] sort with at least two threads and with blocked output would busy-loop (spinlock) all threads, often using 100% of available CPU cycles to do no work. I.e., "sort < big-file | less" could waste a lot of power. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.6] sort with at least two threads no longer segfaults due to use of pointers into the stack of an expired thread. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.6] sort --compress no longer mishandles subprocesses' exit statuses, no longer hangs indefinitely due to a bug in waiting for subprocesses, and no longer generates many more than NMERGE subprocesses. sort -m -o f f ... f no longer dumps core when file descriptors are limited. csplit no longer corrupts heap when writing more than 999 files, nor does it leak memory for every chunk of input processed [the bugs were present in the initial implementation] tail -F once again notices changes in a currently unavailable remote directory [bug introduced in coreutils-7.5] Changes in behavior: sort will not create more than 8 threads by default due to diminishing performance gains. Also the --parallel option is no longer restricted to the number of available processors. cp --attributes-only now completely overrides --reflink. Previously a reflink was needlessly attempted. stat's %X, %Y, and %Z directives once again print only the integer part of seconds since the epoch. This reverts a change from coreutils-8.6, that was deemed unnecessarily disruptive. To obtain a nanosecond-precision time stamp for %X use %.X; if you want (say) just 3 fractional digits, use %.3X. Likewise for %Y and %Z. stat's new %W format directive would print floating point seconds. However, with the above change to %X, %Y and %Z, we've made %W work the same way as the others. New features: split accepts the --number option to generate a specific number of files. - Add a complete german translation. - Add upstreams patch for suffix calculation in split. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Dec 22 15:53:13 UTC 2010 - pth@novell.com - Use software services. - Remove coreutils tarball. - Don't use version specific patches as it breaks automatic updates. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Nov 17 08:33:10 UTC 2010 - coolo@novell.com - remove the prerequire on permissions - this will create a bad cycle, coreutils is just too core ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Nov 16 10:50:04 UTC 2010 - lnussel@suse.de - split pam patch into separate independent files so the main feature can be shared with other distros - don't hard require coreutils-lang ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Nov 11 16:33:50 CET 2010 - pth@suse.de - Update to 8.6: o bugfixes * du no longer multiply counts a file that is a directory or whose link count is 1. * du -H and -L now consistently count pointed-to files instead of symbolic links, and correctly diagnose dangling symlinks. * du --ignore=D now ignores directory D even when that directory is found to be part of a directory cycle. * split now diagnoses read errors rather than silently exiting. * tac would perform a double-free when given an input line longer than 16KiB. * tail -F once again notices changes in a currently unavailable directory, and works around a Linux kernel bug where inotify runs out of resources. * tr now consistently handles case conversion character classes. o New features * cp now accepts the --attributes-only option to not copy file data. * du recognizes -d N as equivalent to --max-depth=N * sort now accepts the --debug option, to highlight the part of the line significant in the sort, and warns about questionable options. * sort now supports -d, -f, -i, -R, and -V in any combination. * stat now accepts the %m format directive to output the mount point for a file. It also accepts the %w and %W format directives for outputting the birth time of a file, if one is available. o Changes in behavior * df now consistently prints the device name for a bind mounted file, rather than its aliased target. * du now uses less than half as much memory when operating on trees with many hard-linked files. * ls -l now uses the traditional three field time style rather than the wider two field numeric ISO style in locales where a style has not been specified. * rm's -d now evokes an error; before, it was silently ignored. * sort -g now uses long doubles for greater range and precision. * sort -h no longer rejects numbers with leading or trailing ".", and no longer accepts numbers with multiple ".". It now considers all zeros to be equal. * sort now uses the number of available processors to parallelize the sorting operation. * stat now provides translated output when no format is specified. * stat no longer accepts the --context (-Z) option. * stat no longer accepts the %C directive when the --file-system option is in effect. * stat now outputs the full sub-second resolution for the atime, mtime, and ctime values since the Epoch, when using the %X, %Y, and %Z directives of the --format option. * touch's --file option is no longer recognized. Use --reference=F (-r) instead. * truncate now supports setting file sizes relative to a reference file. Also errors are no longer suppressed for unsupported file types, and relative sizes are restricted to supported file types.

[bug introduced in coreutils-6.11] * sort -M now handles abbreviated months that are aligned using blanks in the locale database. Also locales with 8 bit characters are handled correctly, including multi byte locales with the caveat that multi byte characters are matched case sensitively. * sort again handles obsolescent key formats (+POS -POS) correctly. Previously if -POS was specified, 1 field too many was used in the sort. [bug introduced in coreutils-7.2] New features * join now accepts the --header option, to treat the first line of each file as a header line to be joined and printed unconditionally. * timeout now accepts the --kill-after option which sends a kill signal to the monitored command if it's still running the specified duration after the initial signal was sent. * who: the "+/-" --mesg (-T) indicator of whether a user/tty is accepting messages could be incorrectly listed as "+", when in fact, the user was not accepting messages (mesg no). Before, who would examine only the permission bits, and not consider the group of the TTY device file. Thus, if a login tty's group would change somehow e.g., to "root", that would make it unwritable (via write(1)) by normal users, in spite of whatever the permission bits might imply. Now, when configured using the --with-tty-group[=NAME] option, who also compares the group of the TTY device with NAME (or "tty" if no group name is specified). Changes in behavior * ls --color no longer emits the final 3-byte color-resetting escape sequence when it would be a no-op. * join -t '' no longer emits an error and instead operates on each line as a whole (even if they contain NUL characters). For other changes since 7.1 see NEWS. - Split-up coreutils-%%{version}.diff as far as possible. - Prefix all patches with coreutils-. - All patches have the .patch suffix. - Use the i18n patch from Archlinux as it fixes at least one test suite failure. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue May 4 17:13:37 UTC 2010 - pth@novell.com - Fix security bug in distcheck (bnc#564373). - refresh patches to apply cleanly. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Mar 2 09:54:10 UTC 2010 - lnussel@suse.de - enable hostid (bnc#584562) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sat Dec 12 18:46:28 CET 2009 - jengelh@medozas.de - add baselibs.conf as a source ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Mar 23 15:34:29 CET 2009 - pth@suse.de - Add .ogv to dircolors (bnc#487561). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sun Feb 22 10:49:52 CET 2009 - schwab@suse.de - Update to coreutils 7.1. ** New features Add extended attribute support available on certain filesystems like ext2 and XFS. cp: Tries to copy xattrs when --preserve=xattr or --preserve=all specified mv: Always tries to copy xattrs install: Never copies xattrs cp and mv accept a new option, --no-clobber (-n): silently refrain from overwriting any existing destination file dd accepts iflag=cio and oflag=cio to open the file in CIO (concurrent I/O) mode where this feature is available. install accepts a new option, --compare (-C): compare each pair of source and destination files, and if the destination has identical content and any specified owner, group, permissions, and possibly SELinux context, then do not modify the destination at all. ls --color now highlights hard linked files, too stat -f recognizes the Lustre file system type ** Bug fixes chgrp, chmod, chown --silent (--quiet, -f) no longer print some diagnostics [bug introduced in coreutils-5.1] cp uses much less memory in some situations cp -a now correctly tries to preserve SELinux context (announced in 6.9.90), doesn't inform about failure, unlike with --preserve=all du --files0-from=FILE no longer reads all of FILE into RAM before processing the first file name seq 9223372036854775807 9223372036854775808 now prints only two numbers on systems with extended long double support and good library support. Even with this patch, on some systems, it still produces invalid output, from 3 to at least 1026 lines long. [bug introduced in coreutils-6.11] seq -w now accounts for a decimal point added to the last number to correctly print all numbers to the same width. wc --files0-from=FILE no longer reads all of FILE into RAM, before processing the first file name, unless the list of names is known to be small enough. ** Changes in behavior cp and mv: the --reply={yes,no,query} option has been removed. Using it has elicited a warning for the last three years. dd: user specified offsets that are too big are handled better. Previously, erroneous parameters to skip and seek could result in redundant reading of the file with no warnings or errors. du: -H (initially equivalent to --si) is now equivalent to --dereference-args, and thus works as POSIX requires shred: now does 3 overwrite passes by default rather than 25. ls -l now marks SELinux-only files with the less obtrusive '.', rather than '+'. A file with any other combination of MAC and ACL is still marked with a '+'. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Nov 19 12:42:10 CET 2008 - werner@suse.de - Enable stat(1) to detect (k)AFS and CIFS network file systems ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Nov 18 16:48:05 CET 2008 - schwab@suse.de - Move stat to /bin. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Oct 21 11:31:35 CEST 2008 - schwab@suse.de - Fix pam cleanup. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Sep 18 16:38:01 CEST 2008 - schwab@suse.de - Move readlink and md5sum to /bin. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Aug 20 15:40:47 CEST 2008 - schwab@suse.de - Add libselinux-devel to BuildRequires. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Jun 24 15:57:01 CEST 2008 - schwab@suse.de - Fix sort field limit in multibyte case. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Jun 4 14:10:05 CEST 2008 - schwab@suse.de - Update to coreutils 6.12. ** Bug fixes chcon, runcon: --help output now includes the bug-reporting address cp -p copies permissions more portably. For example, on MacOS X 10.5, "cp -p some-fifo some-file" no longer fails while trying to copy the permissions from the some-fifo argument. id with no options now prints the SELinux context only when invoked with no USERNAME argument. id and groups once again print the AFS-specific nameless group-ID (PAG). Printing of such large-numbered, kernel-only (not in /etc/group) group-IDs was suppressed in 6.11 due to ignorance that they are useful. uniq: avoid subtle field-skipping malfunction due to isblank misuse. In some locales on some systems, isblank(240) (aka  ) is nonzero. On such systems, uniq --skip-fields=N would fail to skip the proper number of fields for some inputs. tac: avoid segfault with --regex (-r) and multiple files, e.g., "echo > x; tac -r x x". [bug present at least in textutils-1.8b, from 1992] ** Changes in behavior install once again sets SELinux context, when possible [it was deliberately disabled in 6.9.90] ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sun Apr 20 00:19:07 CEST 2008 - schwab@suse.de - Update to coreutils 6.11. ** Bug fixes configure --enable-no-install-program=groups now works. "cp -fR fifo E" now succeeds with an existing E. Before this fix, using -fR to copy a fifo or "special" file onto an existing file would fail with EEXIST. Now, it once again unlinks the destination before trying to create the destination file. [bug introduced in coreutils-5.90] dd once again works with unnecessary options like if=/dev/stdin and of=/dev/stdout. [bug introduced in fileutils-4.0h] 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. md5sum would segfault for invalid BSD-style input, e.g., echo 'MD5 (' | md5sum -c - Now, md5sum ignores that line. sha1sum, sha224sum, sha384sum, and sha512sum are affected, too. [bug introduced in coreutils-5.1.0] md5sum -c would accept a NUL-containing checksum string like "abcd\0..." and would unnecessarily read and compute the checksum of the named file, and then compare that checksum to the invalid one: guaranteed to fail. Now, it recognizes that the line is not valid and skips it. sha1sum, sha224sum, sha384sum, and sha512sum are affected, too. [bug present in the original version, in coreutils-4.5.1, 1995] "mkdir -Z x dir" no longer segfaults when diagnosing invalid context "x" mkfifo and mknod would fail similarly. Now they're fixed. 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] "paste -d'\' file" no longer overruns memory (heap since coreutils-5.1.2, stack before then) [bug present in the original version, in 1992] "pr -e" with a mix of backspaces and TABs no longer corrupts the heap [bug present in the original version, in 1992] "ptx -F'\' long-file-name" would overrun a malloc'd buffer and corrupt the heap. That was triggered by a lone backslash (or odd number of them) at the end of the option argument to --flag-truncation=STRING (-F), --word-regexp=REGEXP (-W), or --sentence-regexp=REGEXP (-S). "rm -r DIR" would mistakenly declare to be "write protected" -- and prompt about -- full DIR-relative names longer than MIN (PATH_MAX, 8192). "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. ** Portability rm now works properly even on systems like BeOS and Haiku, which have negative errno values. ** Consistency install, mkdir, rmdir and split now write --verbose output to stdout, not to stderr. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Apr 11 11:42:57 CEST 2008 - schwab@suse.de - Work around a recent glibc/getopt.c diagnostic change. - Fix frexpl test. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Apr 10 12:54:45 CEST 2008 - ro@suse.de - added baselibs.conf file to build xxbit packages for multilib support ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Feb 18 18:19:19 CET 2008 - dmueller@suse.de - split off -lang subpackage to reduce one CD media size ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Feb 4 12:33:30 CET 2008 - kukuk@suse.de - sux is deprecated since 3 years, let's finaly remove symlink. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Jan 22 23:03:33 CET 2008 - schwab@suse.de - Update to coreutils 6.10. ** Bug fixes Fix a non-portable use of sed in configure.ac.

[bug introduced in coreutils-6.9.90] tr's case conversion would fail in a locale with differing numbers of lower case and upper case characters. E.g., this would fail: env LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO-8859-1 tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' [bug introduced in coreutils-6.9.90] ** Improvements "touch -d now writable-but-owned-by-someone-else" now succeeds whenever that same command would succeed without "-d now". Before, it would work fine with no -d option, yet it would fail with the ostensibly-equivalent "-d now". ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Jan 7 16:14:51 CET 2008 - schwab@suse.de - Update to coreutils 6.9.91. ** Bug fixes "ls -l" would not output "+" on SELinux hosts unless -Z was also given. "rm" would fail to unlink a non-directory when run in an environment in which the user running rm is capable of unlinking a directory.

This is for compatibility with BSD and POSIX. tr now warns about an unescaped backslash at end of string. The tr from coreutils-5.2.1 and earlier would fail for such usage, and Solaris' tr ignores that final byte. ** New features Add SELinux support, based on the patch from Fedora: * cp accepts new --preserve=context option. * "cp -a" works with SELinux: Now, cp -a attempts to preserve context, but failure to do so does not change cp's exit status. However "cp --preserve=context" is similar, but failure *does* cause cp to exit with nonzero status. * install accepts new "-Z, --context=C" option. * id accepts new "-Z" option. * stat honors the new %C format directive: SELinux security context string * ls accepts a slightly modified -Z option. * ls: contrary to Fedora version, does not accept --lcontext and --scontext cp -p tries to preserve the GID of a file even if preserving the UID is not possible. uniq accepts a new option: --zero-terminated (-z). As with the sort option of the same name, this makes uniq consume and produce NUL-terminated lines rather than newline-terminated lines. wc no longer warns about character decoding errors in multibyte locales. This means for example that "wc /bin/sh" now produces normal output (though the word count will have no real meaning) rather than many error messages. ** New build options By default, "make install" no longer attempts to install (or even build) su. To change that, use ./configure --enable-install-program=su. If you also want to install the new "arch" program, do this: ./configure --enable-install-program=arch,su. You can inhibit the compilation and installation of selected programs at configure time. For example, to avoid installing "hostname" and "uptime", use ./configure --enable-no-install-program=hostname,uptime Note: currently, "make check" passes, even when arch and su are not built (that's the new default). However, if you inhibit the building and installation of other programs, don't be surprised if some parts of "make check" fail. ** Remove deprecated options df no longer accepts the --kilobytes option. du no longer accepts the --kilobytes or --megabytes options. ls no longer accepts the --kilobytes option. ptx longer accepts the --copyright option. who no longer accepts -i or --idle. ** Improved robustness ln -f can no longer silently clobber a just-created hard link. In some cases, ln could be seen as being responsible for data loss. For example, given directories a, b, c, and files a/f and b/f, we should be able to do this safely: ln -f a/f b/f c && rm -f a/f b/f However, before this change, ln would succeed, and thus cause the loss of the contents of a/f. stty no longer silently accepts certain invalid hex values in its 35-colon commmand-line argument ** Bug fixes chmod no longer ignores a dangling symlink. Now, chmod fails with a diagnostic saying that it cannot operate on such a file. [bug introduced in coreutils-5.1.0] cp attempts to read a regular file, even if stat says it is empty. Before, "cp /proc/cpuinfo c" would create an empty file when the kernel reports stat.st_size == 0, while "cat /proc/cpuinfo > c" would "work", and create a nonempty one. [bug introduced in coreutils-6.0] cp --parents no longer mishandles symlinks to directories in file name components in the source, e.g., "cp --parents symlink/a/b d" no longer fails. Also, 'cp' no longer considers a destination symlink to be the same as the referenced file when copying links or making backups. For example, if SYM is a symlink to FILE, "cp -l FILE SYM" now reports an error instead of silently doing nothing. The behavior of 'cp' is now better documented when the destination is a symlink. "cp -i --update older newer" no longer prompts; same for mv "cp -i" now detects read errors on standard input, and no longer consumes too much seekable input; same for ln, install, mv, and rm. cut now diagnoses a range starting with zero (e.g., -f 0-2) as invalid; before, it would treat it as if it started with 1 (-f 1-2). "cut -f 2-0" now fails; before, it was equivalent to "cut -f 2-" cut now diagnoses the '-' in "cut -f -" as an invalid range, rather than interpreting it as the unlimited range, "1-". date -d now accepts strings of the form e.g., 'YYYYMMDD +N days', in addition to the usual 'YYYYMMDD N days'. du -s now includes the size of any stat'able-but-inaccessible directory in the total size. du (without -s) prints whatever it knows of the size of an inaccessible directory. Before, du would print nothing for such a directory. ls -x DIR would sometimes output the wrong string in place of the first entry. [introduced in coreutils-6.8] ls --color would mistakenly color a dangling symlink as if it were a regular symlink. This would happen only when the dangling symlink was not a command-line argument and in a directory with d_type support. [introduced in coreutils-6.0] ls --color, (with a custom LS_COLORS envvar value including the ln=target attribute) would mistakenly output the string "target" before the name of each symlink. [introduced in coreutils-6.0] od's --skip (-j) option now works even when the kernel says that a nonempty regular file has stat.st_size = 0. This happens at least with files in /proc and linux-2.6.22. "od -j L FILE" had a bug: when the number of bytes to skip, L, is exactly the same as the length of FILE, od would skip *no* bytes. When the number of bytes to skip is exactly the sum of the lengths of the first N files, od would skip only the first N-1 files. [introduced in textutils-2.0.9] ./printf %.10000000f 1 could get an internal ENOMEM error and generate no output, yet erroneously exit with status 0. Now it diagnoses the error and exits with nonzero status. [present in initial implementation] seq no longer mishandles obvious cases like "seq 0 0.000001 0.000003", so workarounds like "seq 0 0.000001 0.0000031" are no longer needed. seq would mistakenly reject some valid format strings containing %%, and would mistakenly accept some invalid ones. e.g., %g%% and %%g, resp. "seq .1 .1" would mistakenly generate no output on some systems Obsolete sort usage with an invalid ordering-option character, e.g., "env _POSIX2_VERSION=199209 sort +1x" no longer makes sort free an invalid pointer [introduced in coreutils-6.5] sorting very long lines (relative to the amount of available memory) no longer provokes unaligned memory access split --line-bytes=N (-C N) no longer creates an empty file [this bug is present at least as far back as textutils-1.22 (Jan, 1997)] tr -c no longer aborts when translating with Set2 larger than the complement of Set1.

Using pr -m -s (i.e. merging files, with TAB as the output separator) no longer inserts extraneous spaces between output columns. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Mar 14 15:50:36 CET 2007 - lnussel@suse.de - su: actually use /etc/pam.d/su-l when running su - (#254428) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Mar 5 17:23:45 CET 2007 - lnussel@suse.de - su: don't chdir("/") before fork() (#251287) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Mar 2 13:47:35 CET 2007 - lnussel@suse.de - split off and rework PAM patch for su: * run pam_open_session as root (#245706) * use separate pam configs for "su" and "su -" (RedHat #198639) * detect pam libs in configure script, add option to disable it * don't set argv[0] to "-su", use upstream behavior instead * don't use getlogin() for setting PAM_RUSER ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sun Feb 25 10:58:58 CET 2007 - schwab@suse.de - Update to coreutils 6.8. ** Bug fixes chgrp, chmod, and chown now honor the --preserve-root option. Before, they would warn, yet continuing traversing and operating on /. chmod no longer fails in an environment (e.g., a chroot) with openat support but with insufficient /proc support. "cp --parents F/G D" no longer creates a directory D/F when F is not a directory (and F/G is therefore invalid). "cp --preserve=mode" would create directories that briefly had too-generous permissions in some cases. For example, when copying a directory with permissions 777 the destination directory might temporarily be setgid on some file systems, which would allow other users to create subfiles with the same group as the directory. Fix similar problems with 'install' and 'mv'. cut no longer dumps core for usage like "cut -f2- f1 f2" with two or more file arguments. This was due to a double-free bug, introduced in coreutils-5.3.0. dd bs= operands now silently override any later ibs= and obs= operands, as POSIX and tradition require. "ls -FRL" always follows symbolic links on Linux. Introduced in coreutils-6.0. A cross-partition "mv /etc/passwd ~" (by non-root) now prints a reasonable diagnostic. Before, it would print this: "mv: cannot remove `/etc/passwd': Not a directory". pwd and "readlink -e ." no longer fail unnecessarily when a parent directory is unreadable. "rm -rf /etc/passwd" (run by non-root) now prints a diagnostic. Before it would print nothing. "rm --interactive=never F" no longer prompts for an unwritable F ** New features sort's new --compress-program=PROG option specifies a compression program to use when writing and reading temporary files. This can help save both time and disk space when sorting large inputs. ** New features sort accepts the new option -C, which acts like -c except no diagnostic is printed. Its --check option now accepts an optional argument, and --check=quiet and --check=silent are now aliases for -C, while --check=diagnose-first is an alias for -c or plain --check. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Jan 9 13:08:01 CET 2007 - schwab@suse.de - Fix localized month sorting [#231790]. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Dec 13 13:27:36 CET 2006 - schwab@suse.de - Fix acl tests. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sat Dec 9 01:00:28 CET 2006 - schwab@suse.de - Update to coreutils 6.7. ** Bug fixes When cp -p copied a file with special mode bits set, the same bits were set on the copy even when ownership could not be preserved. This could result in files that were setuid to the wrong user. To fix this, special mode bits are now set in the copy only if its ownership is successfully preserved. Similar problems were fixed with mv when copying across file system boundaries. This problem affects all versions of coreutils through 6.6. cp --preserve=ownership would create output files that temporarily had too-generous permissions in some cases. For example, when copying a file with group A and mode 644 into a group-B sticky directory, the output file was briefly readable by group B. Fix similar problems with cp options like -p that imply --preserve=ownership, with install -d when combined with either -o or -g, and with mv when copying across file system boundaries. This bug affects coreutils 6.0 through 6.6. du --one-file-system (-x) would skip subdirectories of any directory listed as second or subsequent command line argument. This bug affects coreutils-6.4, 6.5 and 6.6. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Nov 22 16:16:52 CET 2006 - schwab@suse.de - Update to coreutils 6.6. ** Bug fixes ls would segfault (dereference a NULL pointer) for a file with a nameless group or owner. This bug was introduced in coreutils-6.5. A bug in the latest official m4/gettext.m4 (from gettext-0.15) made configure fail to detect gettext support, due to the unusual way in which coreutils uses AM_GNU_GETTEXT. ** Improved robustness Now, du (and the other fts clients: chmod, chgrp, chown) honor a trailing slash in the name of a symlink-to-directory even on Solaris 9, by working around its buggy fstatat implementation. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Nov 20 11:34:05 CET 2006 - schwab@suse.de - Update to coreutils 6.5. ** Bug fixes du (and the other fts clients: chmod, chgrp, chown) would exit early when encountering an inaccessible directory on a system with native openat support (i.e., linux-2.6.16 or newer along with glibc-2.4 or newer). This bug was introduced with the switch to gnulib's openat-based variant of fts, for coreutils-6.0. "ln --backup f f" now produces a sensible diagnostic ** New features rm accepts a new option: --one-file-system ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Oct 23 10:58:38 CEST 2006 - schwab@suse.de - Update to coreutils 6.4. ** Bug fixes chgrp and chown would malfunction when invoked with both -R and -H and with one or more of the following: --preserve-root, --verbose, --changes, --from=o:g (chown only). This bug was introduced with the switch to gnulib's openat-based variant of fts, for coreutils-6.0. cp --backup dir1 dir2, would rename an existing dir2/dir1 to dir2/dir1~. This bug was introduced in coreutils-6.0. With --force (-f), rm no longer fails for ENOTDIR. For example, "rm -f existing-non-directory/anything" now exits successfully, ignoring the error about a nonexistent file. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Oct 9 14:48:23 CEST 2006 - schwab@suse.de - Update to coreutils 6.3. ** Improved robustness pinky no longer segfaults on Darwin 7.9.0 (MacOS X 10.3.9) due to a buggy native getaddrinfo function. rm works around a bug in Darwin 7.9.0 (MacOS X 10.3.9) that would sometimes keep it from removing all entries in a directory on an HFS+ or NFS-mounted partition. sort would fail to handle very large input (around 40GB) on systems with a mkstemp function that returns a file descriptor limited to 32-bit offsets. ** Bug fixes chmod would fail unnecessarily in an unusual case: when an initially- inaccessible argument is rendered accessible by chmod's action on a preceding command line argument. This bug also affects chgrp, but it is harder to demonstrate. It does not affect chown. The bug was introduced with the switch from explicit recursion to the use of fts in coreutils-5.1.0 (2003-10-15). cp -i and mv -i occasionally neglected to prompt when the copy or move action was bound to fail. This bug dates back to before fileutils-4.0. With --verbose (-v), cp and mv would sometimes generate no output, or neglect to report file removal. For the "groups" command: "groups" no longer prefixes the output with "user :" unless more than one user is specified; this is for compatibility with BSD. "groups user" now exits nonzero when it gets a write error. "groups" now processes options like --help more compatibly. shuf would infloop, given 8KB or more of piped input ** Portability Versions of chmod, chown, chgrp, du, and rm (tools that use openat etc.) compiled for Solaris 8 now also work when run on Solaris 10. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Oct 5 00:16:42 CEST 2006 - agruen@suse.de - cp: Replace the old --attributes=regex option with --preserve=xattrs. Only copy extended attributes if this option is given. Use libattr's new copy_attr_action() function to check which attributes to copy in /etc/xattr.conf. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Sep 19 13:20:47 CEST 2006 - schwab@suse.de - Disable broken autopoint. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Sep 18 13:13:58 CEST 2006 - schwab@suse.de - Update to coreutils 6.2. ** Changes in behavior mkdir -p and install -d (or -D) now use a method that forks a child process if the working directory is unreadable and a later argument uses a relative file name. This avoids some race conditions, but it means you may need to kill two processes to stop these programs. rm now rejects attempts to remove the root directory, e.g., `rm -fr /' now fails without removing anything. Likewise for any file name with a final `./' or `../' component. tail now ignores the -f option if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set, no file operand is given, and standard input is any FIFO; formerly it did this only for pipes. ** Infrastructure changes Coreutils now uses gnulib via the gnulib-tool script. If you check the source out from CVS, then follow the instructions in README-cvs. Although this represents a large change to the infrastructure, it should cause no change in how the tools work. ** Bug fixes cp --backup no longer fails when the last component of a source file name is "." or "..". "ls --color" would highlight other-writable and sticky directories no differently than regular directories on a file system with dirent.d_type support. "mv -T --verbose --backup=t A B" now prints the " (backup: B.~1~)" suffix when A and B are directories as well as when they are not. mv and "cp -r" no longer fail when invoked with two arguments where the first one names a directory and the second name ends in a slash and doesn't exist. E.g., "mv dir B/", for nonexistent B, now succeeds, once more. This bug was introduced in coreutils-5.3.0. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Sep 1 15:56:51 CEST 2006 - schwab@suse.de - Fix sbin patch [#202632]. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Aug 21 11:32:53 CEST 2006 - schwab@suse.de - Update to coreutils 6.1. ** Changes in behavior df now considers BSD "kernfs" file systems to be dummies ** Bug fixes cp --sparse preserves sparseness at the end of a file, even when the file's apparent size is not a multiple of its block size. [introduced with the original design, in fileutils-4.0r, 2000-04-29] df (with a command line argument) once again prints its header [introduced in coreutils-6.0] ls -CF would misalign columns in some cases involving non-stat'able files [introduced in coreutils-6.0] ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Aug 15 17:50:41 CEST 2006 - schwab@suse.de - Update to coreutils 6.0. ** Improved robustness df: if the file system claims to have more available than total blocks, report the number of used blocks as being "total - available" (a negative number) rather than as garbage. dircolors: a new autoconf run-test for AIX's buggy strndup function prevents malfunction on that system; may also affect cut, expand, and unexpand. fts no longer changes the current working directory, so its clients (chmod, chown, chgrp, du) no longer malfunction under extreme conditions. pwd and other programs using lib/getcwd.c work even on file systems where dirent.d_ino values are inconsistent with those from stat.st_ino. rm's core is now reentrant: rm --recursive (-r) now processes hierarchies without changing the working directory at all. ** Changes in behavior basename and dirname now treat // as different from / on platforms where the two are distinct. chmod, install, and mkdir now preserve a directory's set-user-ID and set-group-ID bits unless you explicitly request otherwise. E.g., `chmod 755 DIR' and `chmod u=rwx,go=rx DIR' now preserve DIR's set-user-ID and set-group-ID bits instead of clearing them, and similarly for `mkdir -m 755 DIR' and `mkdir -m u=rwx,go=rx DIR'. To clear the bits, mention them explicitly in a symbolic mode, e.g., `mkdir -m u=rwx,go=rx,-s DIR'. To set them, mention them explicitly in either a symbolic or a numeric mode, e.g., `mkdir -m 2755 DIR', `mkdir -m u=rwx,go=rx,g+s' DIR. This change is for convenience on systems where these bits inherit from parents. Unfortunately other operating systems are not consistent here, and portable scripts cannot assume the bits are set, cleared, or preserved, even when the bits are explicitly mentioned. For example, OpenBSD 3.9 `mkdir -m 777 D' preserves D's setgid bit but `chmod 777 D' clears it. Conversely, Solaris 10 `mkdir -m 777 D', `mkdir -m g-s D', and `chmod 0777 D' all preserve D's setgid bit, and you must use something like `chmod g-s D' to clear it. `cp --link --no-dereference' now works also on systems where the link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link. This change has no effect on systems with a Linux-based kernel. csplit and nl now use POSIX syntax for regular expressions, not Emacs syntax. As a result, character classes like [[:print:]] and interval expressions like A\{1,9\} now have their usual meaning, . no longer matches the null character, and \ must precede the + and ? operators. date: a command like date -d '2006-04-23 21 days ago' would print the wrong date in some time zones. (see the test for an example) df now considers "none" and "proc" file systems to be dummies and therefore does not normally display them. Also, inaccessible file systems (which can be caused by shadowed mount points or by chrooted bind mounts) are now dummies, too. expr no longer complains about leading ^ in a regular expression (the anchor is ignored), or about regular expressions like A** (the second "*" is ignored). expr now exits with status 2 (not 3) for errors it detects in the expression's values; exit status 3 is now used only for internal errors (such as integer overflow, which expr now checks for). install and mkdir now implement the X permission symbol correctly, e.g., `mkdir -m a+X dir'; previously the X was ignored. install now creates parent directories with mode u=rwx,go=rx (755) instead of using the mode specified by the -m option; and it does not change the owner or group of parent directories. This is for compatibility with BSD and closes some race conditions. ln now uses different (and we hope clearer) diagnostics when it fails. ln -v now acts more like FreeBSD, so it generates output only when successful and the output is easier to parse. ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', not --time-style='posix-long-iso'. However, the 'locale' time style now behaves like 'posix-long-iso' if your locale settings appear to be messed up. This change attempts to have the default be the best of both worlds. mkfifo and mknod no longer set special mode bits (setuid, setgid, and sticky) with the -m option. nohup's usual diagnostic now more precisely specifies the I/O redirections, e.g., "ignoring input and appending output to nohup.out". Also, nohup now redirects stderr to nohup.out (or $HOME/nohup.out) if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty; this is in response to Open Group XCU ERN 71. rm --interactive now takes an optional argument, although the default of using no argument still acts like -i. rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory seq changes: seq defaults to a minimal fixed point format that does not lose information if seq's operands are all fixed point decimal numbers. You no longer need the `-f%.f' in `seq -f%.f 1048575 1024 1050623', for example, since the default format now has the same effect. seq now lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats. seq now uses long double internally rather than double. sort now reports incompatible options (e.g., -i and -n) rather than silently ignoring one of them. stat's --format=FMT option now works the way it did before 5.3.0: FMT is automatically newline terminated. The first stable release containing this change was 5.92. stat accepts the new option --printf=FMT, where FMT is *not* automatically newline terminated. stat: backslash escapes are interpreted in a format string specified via --printf=FMT, but not one specified via --format=FMT. That includes octal (\ooo, at most three octal digits), hexadecimal (\xhh, one or two hex digits), and the standard sequences (\a, \b, \f, \n, \r, \t, \v, \", \\). With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f' only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set. Formerly, it ignored the '-f' when standard input was a FIFO, pipe, or socket. ** Scheduled for removal ptx's --copyright (-C) option is scheduled for removal in 2007, and now evokes a warning. Use --version instead. rm's --directory (-d) option is scheduled for removal in 2006. This option has been silently ignored since coreutils 5.0. On systems that support unlinking of directories, you can use the "unlink" command to unlink a directory. Similarly, we are considering the removal of ln's --directory (-d, -F) option in 2006. Please write to <bug-coreutils@gnu.org> if this would cause a problem for you. On systems that support hard links to directories, you can use the "link" command to create one. ** New programs base64: base64 encoding and decoding (RFC 3548) functionality. sha224sum: print or check a SHA224 (224-bit) checksum sha256sum: print or check a SHA256 (256-bit) checksum sha384sum: print or check a SHA384 (384-bit) checksum sha512sum: print or check a SHA512 (512-bit) checksum shuf: Shuffle lines of text. ** New features chgrp now supports --preserve-root, --no-preserve-root (default), as it was documented to do, and just as chmod, chown, and rm do. New dd iflag= and oflag= flags: 'directory' causes dd to fail unless the file is a directory, on hosts that support this (e.g., Linux kernels, version 2.1.126 and later). This has limited utility but is present for completeness. 'noatime' causes dd to read a file without updating its access time, on hosts that support this (e.g., Linux kernels, version 2.6.8 and later). 'nolinks' causes dd to fail if the file has multiple hard links, on hosts that support this (e.g., Solaris 10 and later). ls accepts the new option --group-directories-first, to make it list directories before files. rm now accepts the -I (--interactive=once) option. This new option prompts once if rm is invoked recursively or if more than three files are being deleted, which is less intrusive than -i prompting for every file, but provides almost the same level of protection against mistakes. shred and sort now accept the --random-source option. sort now accepts the --random-sort (-R) option and `R' ordering option. sort now supports obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" unless POSIXLY_CORRECT is set. However, when conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001 "sort +1" still sorts the file named "+1". wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE contains a list of NUL-terminated file names. ** Bug fixes cat with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T, when applied to a file in /proc or /sys (linux-specific), would truncate its output, usually printing nothing. cp -p would fail in a /proc-less chroot, on some systems When `cp -RL' encounters the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single command-line argument, it no longer confuses them with hard-linked directories. fts-using tools (chmod, chown, chgrp, du) no longer fail due to a double-free bug -- it could be triggered by making a directory inaccessible while e.g., du is traversing the hierarchy under it. fts-using tools (chmod, chown, chgrp, du) no longer misinterpret a very long symlink chain as a dangling symlink. Before, such a misinterpretation would cause these tools not to diagnose an ELOOP error. ls --indicator-style=file-type would sometimes stat a symlink unnecessarily. ls --file-type worked like --indicator-style=slash (-p), rather than like --indicator-style=file-type. mv: moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory is now done atomically; before, mv would first unlink the destination. mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally. Also, mv can now remove an empty destination directory: mkdir -p a b/a; mv a b rm (on systems with openat) can no longer exit before processing all command-line arguments. rm is no longer susceptible to a few low-probability memory leaks. rm -r no longer fails to remove an inaccessible and empty directory rm -r's cycle detection code can no longer be tricked into reporting a false positive (introduced in fileutils-4.1.9). shred --remove FILE no longer segfaults on Gentoo systems sort would fail for large inputs (~50MB) on systems with a buggy mkstemp function. sort and tac now use the replacement mkstemp function, and hence are no longer subject to limitations (of 26 or 32, on the maximum number of files from a given template) on HP-UX 10.20, SunOS 4.1.4, Solaris 2.5.1 and OSF1/Tru64 V4.0F&V5.1. tail -f once again works on a file with the append-only attribute (affects at least Linux ext2, ext3, xfs file systems) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Aug 8 15:29:32 CEST 2006 -
