* [71] change getgrouplist patch to skip the autoconf test and use
getgrouplist unconditionally. (Patch isn't immediately ready for
upstream anyway, and I assume that glibc provides this function
on all our supported platforms. If this turns out to not be true,
I'll revisit.) (Closes: #459615)

coreutils (6.10~20070907-1) experimental; urgency=low
* SELinux support has been integrated upstream. This may break things
in the short term (I encourage SELinux users to test) but is
expected to simplify coreutils development since the size of the
debian diff is greatly reduced.
* Bumped policy number
* Killed off textutils/fileutils/shellutils transition packages
* most debian patches are gone, except for whoips & dd appenderrors
* may need some, like s390 no sha2, returned (see how autobuilds do)

coreutils (5.97-5.4) unstable; urgency=medium

prototype. Closes: #433394.

coreutils (5.97-5.3) unstable; urgency=high
* This is a non-maintainer upload done with the maintainer's blessing,
to fix a FTBS bug, and to get the SELinux changes in through to Etch.
* Bug fix: "coreutils - FTBFS", thanks to Bastian Blank and Andreas
Barth. The problem is with a build time test suite, which did not
take into account that there could be two directory names with the
same inode, which is what happens if there is a bind mount. So this
is not anything s390 specific, nor is it a problem with the coreutils
package itself, just with the build time test. Applied a version of
the patch being used by upstream to fix the test.
(Closes: #380552, #407628).

coreutils (5.97-5.2) unstable; urgency=low
* This is an follow up non-maintainer upload to fix an issue introduced
in my last NMU. This fixes an FTBS bugs when building for non-SELinux
environments, for example, for non Linux architectures.
* Bug fix: "coreutils: FTBFS on hurd and kfreebsd: Unguarded usage of
SELinux code", thanks to Michael Banck. I missed out on guarding
assignments one. Rather than use the suggested patch (which adds two
members to a struct on non-selinux machines that would never get used,
I went back and corrected the non-selinux patch, since that is the
correct location to add this fix. The version of the patch included
in this version should do the right thing. (Closes: #396655).

coreutils (5.97-5.1) unstable; urgency=low
* With permission from the maintainer, this upload (from a non-maintainer)
updates the SELinux patch, synchronizing with the latest patches from
fedora core (:pserver:anonymous@cvs.fedora.redhat.com:/cvs/dist,
repository rpms/coreutils/devel). The patches had to be tweaked for
Debian. This bring coreutils into compatibility with the latest
version of SELinux now in Debian.
* Bug fix: "coreutils: Updated SELinux patch", thanks to Manoj
Srivastava. The NMU patch is available in that bug report,
essentially, this is a minimal change upload. (Closes: #394287).

coreutils (5.97-5) unstable; urgency=medium
* Actually kill sha384 and sha512 on s390. Finally got logged into an s390
system, which makes debugging easier. (Conversely, buildds that fail a

developers: if you want introduce a dependency on sha384 or sha512, talk
to me first.

* Follow strategy from Ian Jackson to better deal with the dpkg md5sum
mess. Only remove dpkg's mad md5sum diversion `once' (ie, on upgrade
from non-/usr/bin/md5sum-supplying coreutils). This preserves any later
sysadmin-installed diversions of md5sum.textutils.

- stat's --link and -l options have been removed. Use --dereference

because of this, debian no longer forces POSIX version 199209

hopefully nobody will do something so stupid in the future.

Now, using -H elicits a warning to that effect. * [53] Update acl patch for 5.2.1. Now based on FC2 coreutils patch. * Removed xattr patch. AFAICT this isn't particularly useful for anything except selinux, and other selinux support isn't included. Also, the option added with this patch isn't being used consistently between different linux distributions and I'd rather not support something that will cause incompatibilities. If anyone was depending on this support please contact me with details.

- sort now supports the zero byte (NUL) as a field separator; use -t '\0'
The -t '' option, which formerly had no effect, is now an error
- sort option order no longer matters for -S, -d, -i, -o, and -t
- tail --allow-missing option is deprecated; use --retry instead
- `sha1sum --check' now accepts the BSD format for SHA1 message digests
- who -l now means `who --login', not `who --lookup', per POSIX. 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

`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.

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 <mstone@debian.org> 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

coreutils (4.5.8-2) unstable; urgency=medium
* Fix typesize problem in du that caused wrapping at 2G

* 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 <mstone@debian.org> 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.
