Now that all of the tests are once again passing on the coreutils build-bot, I expect to make a coreutils release in the next day or two. There is still a minor problem in that users of Solaris ZFS file systems NFS-mounted on non-Solaris systems will see that cp -p sometimes tries to copy ACLs when it shouldn't, but that's not worth holding up the release.
In the mean time, here's the latest snapshot: http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-6.8+.tar.gz http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-6.8+.tar.gz.sig Please build it and run "make -k check" on a few unusual systems today or tomorrow and report any problems. That might save someone (yourself, even) some trouble down the road. Jim PS, in case you're wondering why I'm distributing snapshots as gzip'd tarballs rather than the 2.7MB-smaller bzip2-compressed ones, it's because I use gzip's --rsyncable option, which means when I upload the new tarball with rsync, I get 2-5x the effective bandwidth. Paul Eggert, the gzip maintainer, knows about the --rsyncable patches that are floating around (e.g., in rsync distributions), and may eventually find time to get this functionality into GNU gzip. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
