Feature was deprecated in woody - mv renaming file onto differently-cased form of the same name no longer causes data loss on case-insensitive filesystem like vfat. Name-mapping filesystems such as ntfs or hpfs can still have problems, see NEWS file for details. (Closes: #189319) - seq's default step is 1, even if LAST < FIRST (Closes: #208494) * [30] upstream patch for du -D with symlinks (Closes: #211591) * make sure buildinfo is cleaned up * debian/newfiles aren't used any more * old {file,shell,text}utils info doc indices are cleaned up (Closes: #209160) * add sha1sum to description (Closes: #211724) -- Michael Stone Fri, 03 Oct 2003 23:01:28 -0400 coreutils (5.0.90-3) unstable; urgency=low * [28,29] don't hang in who or pinky trying to look up the fake host entries that screen puts in utmp * [50,51] acl support - libacl1-dev build dependency - probably won't work on non-linux, patches welcome for hurd et al. if they break * [52] extended attribute support - libattr1-dev build dependency (still necessary with new libc?) - not sure about this one, it might come out (is it always valid to preserve ea's even if we don't know what they are for?) -- Michael Stone Mon, 18 Aug 2003 19:47:29 -0400 coreutils (5.0.90-2) unstable; urgency=medium * [27] tail -n 0 -f no longer causes busy wait/hang (Closes: #205251) -- Michael Stone Wed, 13 Aug 2003 22:46:30 -0400 coreutils (5.0.90-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream version - `test -t', `test --help', and `test --version' now silently exit with status 0. To test whether standard output is a terminal, use `test -t 1'. To get help and version info for `test', use `[ --help' and `[ --version'. `test' now exits with status 2 (not 1) if there is an error. - rm without --recursive (aka -r or -R) no longer prompts regarding unwritable directories, as required by POSIX. - uniq -c now uses a SPACE, not a TAB between the count and the corresponding line, as required by POSIX. - expr now exits with status 2 if the expression is syntactically valid, and with status 3 if an error occurred. POSIX requires this. - md5sum --check now accepts the output of the BSD/OpenSSL md5sum program - chown: `.' is no longer recognized as a separator when POSIX2 version is >= 200112 * [26] split-fail test doesn't fail * revert 17, patch doesn't work anyway. 26 is a new patch for the problem of building as non-root in a chroot owned by the builder. (Closes: #204778) * use dh_buildinfo * standards-version 3.6.0 * add readlink to description (Closes: #204974) * temporarily override posix version to 199209 so I can upload this package. need a transition plan. try setting the environment variable _POSIX2_VERSION on your system to "200112" and see how much breaks. I encourage debian developers to update their packages so the above works. -- Michael Stone Mon, 11 Aug 2003 17:31:34 -0400 coreutils (5.0-5) unstable; urgency=low * [23] upstream patch to make split --verbose actually verbose (Closes: #199205) * enable kill & su for freebsd (Closes: #194743) * [24] upstream fix for du not displaying / on last line of du / (Closes: #200542) * Build-conflict on automake1.4 (Closes: #200378) * [25] chown no longer preserves setuid bits (Closes: #112597) -- Michael Stone Sat, 12 Jul 2003 09:11:08 -0400 coreutils (5.0-4) unstable; urgency=medium * upstream patch to prevent fd leak (Closes: #197655) -- Michael Stone Mon, 16 Jun 2003 17:34:51 -0400 coreutils (5.0-3) unstable; urgency=low * More hurd stuff, again (Closes: 190738) * uname -i and -p don't exist anymore, stop complaining -- Michael Stone Tue, 13 May 2003 16:57:55 -0400 coreutils (5.0-2) unstable; urgency=low * Cope with symlinks at LC_TIME for woody upgrades (Closes: 191338) * Upstream patch to fix FTBFS on hurd (Closes: 190738) -- Michael Stone Sun, 11 May 2003 10:29:21 -0400 coreutils (5.0-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream version - false --help now exits nonzero - a number of printf fixes - a couple of seq fixes -- Michael Stone Mon, 14 Apr 2003 20:03:36 -0400 coreutils (4.5.10-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream version - printf no longer segfaults for a negative field width or precision - shred now always enables --exact for non-regular files - du no longer lists hard-linked files more than once - du no longer dumps core on some systems due to `infinite' recursion via nftw's use of the buggy replacement function in getcwd.c (Closes: #183962) - portability patches for a few vendor compilers and 64-bit systems - du -S *really* now works like it did before the change in 4.5.5 * make it clearer that {file,shell,text}utils are obsolete (Closes: #184191, #183631) -- Michael Stone Tue, 18 Mar 2003 19:35:23 -0500 coreutils (4.5.9-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream version - du no longer truncates file sizes or sums to fit in 32-bit size_t - work around Linux kernel bug in getcwd (fixed in 2.4.21-pre4), so that pwd now fails if the name of the working directory is so long that getcwd truncates it. Before it would print the truncated name and exit successfully. - `df /some/mount-point' no longer hangs on a GNU libc system when another hard-mounted NFS file system (preceding /some/mount-point in /proc/mounts) is inaccessible. - rm -rf now gives an accurate diagnostic when failing to remove a file under certain unusual conditions - mv and `cp --preserve=links' now preserve multiple hard links even under certain unusual conditions where they used to fail -- Michael Stone Thu, 06 Mar 2003 07:09:05 -0500 coreutils (4.5.8-2) unstable; urgency=medium * Fix typesize problem in du that caused wrapping at 2G (Closes: #183210, #183393) * Added upstream patch to fix behavior where mv would fail to move files under certain (rare) conditions * Added upstream patch to fix error message "cannot chdir" when rm -rf fails to remove a file because of insufficient permission (Closes: #178471) -- Michael Stone Tue, 04 Mar 2003 20:33:14 -0500 coreutils (4.5.8-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream version - du -S once again works like it did before the change in 4.5.5 - stat accepts a new file format, %B, for the size of each block reported by %b - du accepts new option: --apparent-size - du --bytes (-b) works the same way it did in fileutils-3.16 and before - du reports proper sizes for directories (not zero) - df now always displays under `Filesystem', the device file name corresponding to the listed mount point. Before, for a block- or character- special file command line argument, df would display that argument. E.g., `df /dev/hda' would list `/dev/hda' as the `Filesystem', rather than say /dev/hda3 (the device on which `/' is mounted), as it does now. - test now works properly when invoked from a set user ID or set group ID context and when testing access to files subject to alternate protection mechanisms. For example, without this change, a set-UID program that invoked `test -w F' (to see if F is writable) could mistakenly report that it *was* writable, even though F was on a read-only file system, or F had an ACL prohibiting write access, or F was marked as immutable. * Add ipv6 support for name resolution (from "J.H.M.
