Coreutils version 6.1 has been released. If you haven't heard about the GNU coreutils, the FAQ is a good place to start: http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/faq/
This is a bug-fix and portability-fix release. Thanks to everyone who's helped. ---------------------------------------------------------------- The GNU coreutils package contains the following programs: [ base64 basename cat chgrp chmod chown chroot cksum comm cp csplit cut date dd df dir dircolors dirname du echo env expand expr factor false fmt fold ginstall groups head hostid hostname id join kill link ln logname ls md5sum mkdir mkfifo mknod mv nice nl nohup od paste pathchk pinky pr printenv printf ptx pwd readlink rm rmdir seq sha1sum sha224sum sha256sum sha384sum sha512sum shred shuf sleep sort split stat stty su sum sync tac tail tee test touch tr true tsort tty uname unexpand uniq unlink uptime users vdir wc who whoami yes Here are the compressed sources: ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-6.1.tar.gz (8.0MB) ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-6.1.tar.bz2 (5.1MB) Here are the xdelta-style diffs: ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-6.0-6.1.xdelta (324KB) Here are the GPG detached signatures[*]: ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-6.1.tar.gz.sig ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-6.1.tar.bz2.sig Here are the MD5 and SHA1 checksums: 896a0afb1d9c4a578ad2e848b759a7d5 coreutils-6.1.tar.gz fba00daaf5d301c78518fe353a78cd79 coreutils-6.1.tar.bz2 6b38afdc7ed6788a71d4f3623c2d7dae coreutils-6.0-6.1.xdelta 243b70c1867cbd1e96d2718e4c8c1e627857e178 coreutils-6.1.tar.gz 937ecfbb0bbf0c55aa6d7ff7e02ce3e7f862abb1 coreutils-6.1.tar.bz2 e6e0ccbc5684f39b3c145acac0ec44f080905cd5 coreutils-6.0-6.1.xdelta [*] You can use either of the above signature files to verify that the corresponding file (without the .sig suffix) is intact. First, be sure to download both the .sig file and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this: gpg --verify coreutils-6.1.tar.gz.sig If that command fails because you don't have the required public key, then run this command to import it: gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys D333CBA1 and rerun the `gpg --verify' command. ***************** How can you help? ***************** If you're interested in lending a hand, or just want to use the latest versions right now, you can build these programs and run the test suite like this: gzip -dc coreutils-6.1.tar.gz | tar xf - cd coreutils-6.1 ./configure make make -k check >& log grep FAIL log Be sure to use make's -k option so that make doesn't stop just because one of the earlier tests fails. Please report any build problems or test failures to the bug-coreutils@gnu.org mailing list. There are detailed instructions in the `Reporting bugs:' section of the README file. For further reading, see the coreutils home page http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/ and the FAQ list: http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/faq/ ***************** NEWS ***************** * Major changes in release 6.1 (2006-08-19) [unstable] ** 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]
