So coreutils-8.23 is shaping up to be a bug fix release
which I hope could be released within 3-4 weeks.
There are a few outstanding items including various df fixes
and sort multithreaded fixups to include. We should concentrate
on any of the outstanding non feature bugs in this time.
I'm not aware of a sort issue - what do you refer to here?
After that the ground would be clear for a more
invasive update to add prelim multibyte support
and also the unified join/uniq/sort key selection.
Hooray! The idea of throwing away (parts of) that huge and ugly
downstream I18N patch saves my day. ;-)
So I'm thinking:
4 weeks: 8.23 bugfix stable
10 weeks: 9.0 feature unstable
14 weeks: 9.1 bugfix stable
thoughts?
We'll need much test cases for the I18N support. In the downstream
patches, there are only a few ones, and some of them are even
skipped because they'd sometimes fail.
Have a nice day,
