We're on track to make a stable release in the next week or so. There is still a pending portability problem involving Mac OS ACLs. It's nothing new, so I may defer the fix until after coreutils-6.12.
The most recent change was required to work around a new test failure induced by a new version of libc on some systems: tests: skip when a debian libc6-2.7-11 bug makes printf segfault http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=commitdiff;h=c4a9551eee "make check" passes for me on Fedora rawhide, Debian unstable, Solaris 10 and FreeBSD 6.1, but given the changes in the testing framework, I'm sure to have introduced a few new problems there, so please give this a try and report any failures. coreutils snapshot: http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-ss.tar.gz 8.5 MB http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-ss.tar.lzma 3.6 MB http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-ss.tar.gz.sig http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-ss.tar.lzma.sig aka http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-6.11.85-c4a95.tar.gz http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-6.11.85-c4a95.tar.lzma Changes since 6.11.17-d30ac: Bernhard Marx (1): doc: improve description of "niceness" values Bo Borgerson (6): Only cleanup test dirs from the process that created them. tests: don't chmod after a failed chdir in cleanup tests: remove references to tests/wc from bootstrap Add Daniel Dunbar's lcov instructions to HACKING base64 module: adjust API so it's compatible with gnulib's base64: remove some unused/redundant getopt code Bruno Haible (2): Speed up "wc -m" and "wc -w" in multibyte case. doc: some Unicode characters cannot be specified via \u or \U Jim Meyering (59): tests: do define built_programs tweak HACKING advice tests: cp/perm (usually not run) was failing on systems with SELinux tests: move another file (expensive) into test-lib.sh tests: put root-only (usually skipped) tests at the end tests: reorder some tests in the long list tests: improve perl-based tempdir handling tests: ensure at least one failure when $built_programs is empty tests: don't source envvar-check manually, test-lib.sh does it tests: remove temporary log file upon catchable signal move wc tests from own subdir into a single script tests: slightly relax sc_cast_of_argument_to_free syntax check tests: don't hard-code coreutils list of tests/ SUBDIRS in bootstrap chcon, runcon: make --help print the bug-reporting address tests: avoid spurious "make check-root" failure tests: avoid a "make check-root" failure when mcstransd is running tac: avoid segfault for e.g., "echo > x; tac -r x x" * tests/misc/tac: Set execute bit. help2man: avoid failure with Debian unstable's Perl 5.10.0 help2man: fix perl 5.10 problem properly avoid problems with sign-extended "char" operand to is* functions tests: detect and check more uses of strcmp * tests/misc/wc: Remove an unused variable. tests: test split more thoroughly * tests/touch/Makefile.am: Remove now-unused file. fix typo in comments: s/ouput/output/ tests: hoist envvar-check so it is run for every test tests: hoist the sourcing of "lang-default" tests: save and restore TERM around use of TESTS_ENVIRONMENT, tests: use printf+sed rather than yes+head+tr tests: move "group-names" into test-lib.sh tests: move "sparse-file" into test-lib.sh tests: Coreutils.pm improvements tests: remove directory, tests/head/ tests: remove directory, tests/cut/ tests: remove directory, tests/uniq/ tests: translate uniq-z-test-adding code to new framework tests: skip another test if mcstransd is running tests: remove directory, tests/tr/ * TODO: Bo Borgerson is rewriting support for cp --recursive tests: Coreutils.pm: support running a program that is a shell built-in tests: remove directory, tests/test/ tests: remove directory, tests/tac/ tests: remove directory, tests/sort/ tests: remove directory, tests/tail/ tests: convert pr tests * tests/misc/tac: Also perform stdin and piped tests. tests: remove directory, tests/join/ now that the last of the mk-script-using tests is gone... move sha256 and sha512 modules to gnulib make HACKING slightly more generic tests: improve coverage of printf.c tests: env-related clean up tests: allow to run Perl tests more cleanly tests: remove ugly /bin/sh wrapper around each perl-based test script test invalid-option handling in all programs du, wc: merge improved --files0-from=F-related diagnostics tests: sync and update wc and du --files0-from tests tests: skip when a debian libc6-2.7-11 bug makes printf segfault _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
