We plan to release coreutils-8.24 in the next couple of days 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 (5.4 MB) from:
http://pixelbeat.org/cu/coreutils-ss.tar.xz
And verify it using:
http://pixelbeat.org/cu/coreutils-ss.tar.xz.sig
MD5 (coreutils-8.23.245-8bf2af.tar.xz) = 7ba19bc645dbd864c7fff9a7d60a4afd
--------------------------------------
To test follow this standard procedure:
tar -xf $downloaded_file
cd coreutils-8.23.245-8bf2af
./configure && make check VERBOSE=yes
Failures are reported and details are in tests/test-suite.log
