We plan to release coreutils-8.28 towards the end of this 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 (5.2 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) = a1712bf70c4fc51ee47a4aea20180514

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

To test follow this standard procedure:

  tar -xf coreutils-ss.tar.xz
  cd coreutils-8.27.103-db8d1/

    tty: fix exit code with EINVAL

    * src/tty.c (main): All systems mention that isatty()
    man return EINVAL as well as (the POSIX compliant) ENOTTY.
    Also Centos 6 was seen to return EINVAL from ttyname().
    * tests/misc/tty.sh: Fix a test issue where we assume
    standard input is always a valid tty.
    Reported by Assaf Gordon on OpenSolaris 5.10 and 5.11,
    and Centos 6.5

    runcon: revert "disable use of the TIOCSTI ioctl"

    This reverts commit v8.27-97-g8cb06d4 because
    the setsid() fallback was not implemented correctly
    and disabling the ioctl was not a complete solution
    to the security issue of the child being passed
    the tty of the parent.

    Given runcon is not really a sandbox command,
    the advice is to use `runcon ... setsid ...`
    to avoid this particular issue.

    stat: fix determination of max name length on BSD systems

    We only use one of statfs or statvfs for `stat -f`
    and on the BSDs we use statfs which doesn't have the
    f_namelen member.  However on OpenBSD and later FreeBSD
    systems statfs does provide f_namemax, so use that.

    * NEWS: Mention the improvement for OpenBSD and FreeBSD.
    * m4/stat-prog.m4: Check for f_namemax in the statfs struct.
    * src/stat.c: Return '?' rather than '*' when we can't
    determine the max length of the file system.
    * tests/ln/sf-1.sh: This test was failing on all BSDs
    due to '*' being returned for the max length which
    caused the test to attempt to create 1Mi+1 names.
    The test now uses a short name when we can't determine
    the max name length to use.

    Reported by Assaf Gordon on various BSD based systems.

thanks,
Pádraig.
