We plan to release coreutils-8.31 in the coming week so any testing you can do on various different systems between now and then would be most welcome.
-------------------------------------- You can download the coreutils snapshot in xz format (5.3 MB) from: https://pixelbeat.org/cu/coreutils-ss.tar.xz And verify with gpg or md5sum with: https://pixelbeat.org/cu/coreutils-ss.tar.xz.sig MD5 (coreutils-ss.tar.xz) = bf291b5703be8c26b74fee8b4508cd0a -------------------------------------- To test follow this standard procedure: tar -xf coreutils-ss.tar.xz cd coreutils-8.30.87-66e2d/ ./configure && make check VERBOSE=yes Failures are reported and details are in tests/test-suite.log -------------------------------------- Changes since the previous snapshot are: commit 66e2daa689fefec9ed201a04696b9f52d049d89a Author: Pádraig Brady <[email protected]> Date: Wed Mar 6 22:23:21 2019 -0800 tests: tail-2/pipe-f: avoid false failure closing stdout * tests/tail-2/pipe-f.sh: Check closing stdout with >&- is effective, which avoids a false failure on NetBSD 7.1 Reported by Assaf Gordon commit a376de95c3ade99cbe9575aa866393ace10f4f8b Author: Pádraig Brady <[email protected]> Date: Wed Mar 6 21:39:15 2019 -0800 tests: tac-2-nonseekable: ensure we don't block indefinitely * tests/misc/tac-2-nonseekable.sh: Add a timeout to both protect and check whether we can close stdin correctly. commit daa46dbe7d04f8f7f416d8703a5cc162a86d04ba Author: Pádraig Brady <[email protected]> Date: Wed Mar 6 21:04:26 2019 -0800 tests: id/zero: avoid false failure due to sed differences * tests/id/zero.sh: sed on OSX will output a \n even if the input doesn't have a \n on the last "line". So ensure we always have a trailing '\n' to avoid the disparity. commit b918a20234db81055f1e804fcd77378a246ddd98 Author: Pádraig Brady <[email protected]> Date: Wed Mar 6 20:09:16 2019 -0800 tests: test-N: fix false positives on some systems Testing by Assaf Gordon on OSX showed the atime wasn't being updated when explicitly set back in time. Also Debian 8.11 / mips64 was seen to not update the mtime when truncating an empty file. * tests/misc/test-N.sh: Isolate from different timestamping behaviors of various (file) systems, by correlating the timestamps with stat(1) before using `test -N`. commit bf2f64c7d5aaefb9cfa078a43cb7fa20a9612ed3 Author: Assaf Gordon <[email protected]> Date: Tue Mar 5 23:32:34 2019 -0700 doc: replace @hashchar{} with actual hash character Very old makeinfo-4.13 fails with: ./doc/coreutils.texi:2286: Unknown command `hashchar'. ./doc/coreutils.texi:2286: Misplaced {. ./doc/coreutils.texi:2286: Misplaced }. Reported Bernhard Voelker in https://lists.gnu.org/r/coreutils/2019-03/msg00016.html . * doc/coreutils.texi (basenc invocation): Replace @hashchar{} with actual hash character. The special syntax is only required when referring to #line directives. commit 4bb49f04a1e9212c4b773d38f2889ffa853bc66c Author: Pádraig Brady <[email protected]> Date: Wed Mar 6 10:46:25 2019 -0800 build: avoid statx related build failure on AIX * src/stat.c (get_birthtime): Check also for STATX_BTIME define, as a different statx is available on AIX 7.2. commit 16358bc19c34d9941fba6c183699c07d810423a3 Author: Pádraig Brady <[email protected]> Date: Wed Mar 6 10:34:16 2019 -0800 tests: wc-nbsp.sh: avoid failure on FreeBSD * tests/misc/wc-nbsp.sh: FreeBSD and OS X don't treat non breaking space as printable characters. So use wc -L to determine printability before testing non breaking space functionality. commit 4bbbe49074c996e90e19903dddd858ff8a2bf648 Author: Pádraig Brady <[email protected]> Date: Wed Mar 6 08:58:13 2019 -0800 build: fix env build where SIGNUM_BOUND is not constant * src/env.c (initialize_signals): A new function to initialize the signals array on the heap, to avoid a build failure on opensolaris, where SIGNUM_BOUND is not a constant. thanks, Pádraig
