Most notably, this version fixes a bug in each of two commands that are usually shell built-ins: kill and `[' -- so I can hope that few people noticed them :-) Thanks to all who contributed, and espe
The changes in this test release are mainly bug fixes, along with a handful of new features. Here are the compressed sources: ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-5.0.1.tar.gz (5.9MB) ftp://al
This is the first major release of the GNU Coreutils package. The Coreutils package is the combination of and replacement for the fileutils, sh-utils, and textutils packages. It began as the union of
This is a bug-fix-only release. I expect this to be the final test release before coreutils-5.0, the first officially `stable' release of the unified package, so please give it a try and report any p
This is yet another bug-fix-only release. There is a chance that I will relabel this as coreutils-5.0 early next week. Otherwise, I'll make one more test release, and then do the relabel. Please buil
This is a bug-fix-only release. I'm hoping that the next release, 4.5.11, will deserve to be the first officially `stable' release of the GNU coreutils package, so please try to build/test this on as
This is a bug-fix-only release. There were enough other problems that I decided not to include the du.c conversion from ftw to fts in this release. Note that although I've left in the ChangeLog entri
The big news is that du works better now. I broke it in 4.5.7. So much for my ego. I've added some basic tests of du that actually compare block counts on at least some systems, so such a regression
This fixes another ftw.c bug that manifested as a du failure. It was found thanks to the quick integration into Debian's unstable distribution. ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-4.5.7.tar.g
This is a bug-fix-only release. There were serious problems with du. Thanks to Dmitry V. Levin and Andreas Schwab for the quick patches and to Nelson Beebe for reporting the du segfault so quickly. J
As usual, this is a mixed bag. Mainly bug fixes, with a few new features thrown in. Other than bug fixes, this release contains readlink: a new program, by Dmitry Levin cut: a new feature, by Jan Nie
If you want stability, you might want to give this one a couple weeks to settle. There have been enough changes since 4.5.3 that this test release should be considered risky. There have been plenty o
This is mainly a bug-fix release. I've also been addressing some of the new warnings reported by gcc snapshots. More of those remain. Thanks to Andreas Schwab and Dmitry V. Levin for this week's nota
This is a bug fix release -- there are certainly more than I would have predicted. Luckily for my ego, most are not new :-) The rm -i bug was introduced with the rewrite that appeared in fileutils-4.
Finally! I've merged the three packages into one: the GNU coreutils. I don't plan to make any more releases of fileutils, textutils, or sh-utils. The top-level ChangeLog* files from those packages ar
This fixes a bug in configure that I introduced. Thanks to Andreas Schwab for the fixes. Paul Eggert fixed a tiny problem with date. I *really* hope this is the last sh-utils release :-) With any luc
Not much new. This is mainly a snapshot to say that I won't be changing the sh-utils any more (same for fileutils and textutils). The next test release will be of the coreutils package. ftp://alpha.g
Finally, a major release! Nothing much has changed since 2.0.22. I'll send a separate announcement to the general mailing lists once it's on ftp.gnu.org as well. Jim -- ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/fetish
Here's one more test release. In case you fiddle with the build infrastructure, note that it requires a very recent version of automake (the upcoming 1.6b should work fine) in order for the installch
Hi, This fixes another bug in rm and a bad bug in the test script, tests/rm/fail-eperm. Thanks to Mike Stone for the patches. I can't ssh to fetish.sf.net right now, so only the alpha.gnu.org URLs wo
