So coreutils-8.23 is shaping up to be a bug fix release which I hope could be released within 3-4 weeks. There are a few outstanding items including various df fixes and sort multithreaded fixups to include. We should concentrate on any of the outstanding non feature bugs in this time.
I'm not aware of a sort issue - what do you refer to here?
After that the ground would be clear for a more invasive update to add prelim multibyte support and also the unified join/uniq/sort key selection.
Hooray! The idea of throwing away (parts of) that huge and ugly downstream I18N patch saves my day. ;-)
So I'm thinking: 4 weeks: 8.23 bugfix stable 10 weeks: 9.0 feature unstable 14 weeks: 9.1 bugfix stable thoughts?
We'll need much test cases for the I18N support. In the downstream patches, there are only a few ones, and some of them are even skipped because they'd sometimes fail. Have a nice day, Berny
