We plan to release coreutils-8.30 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) = 0e7f0cceb9940143d230c94079c6a754

--------------------------------------

To test follow this standard procedure:

  tar -xf coreutils-ss.tar.xz
  cd coreutils-8.29.57-2ed7c2/
