Re: new snapshot available: coreutils-8.29.64-1755f.tar.xz

[Pádraig Brady]

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) = 3ce92d2c8da2842328415dab8d1f4bbc

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

To test follow this standard procedure:

  tar -xf coreutils-ss.tar.xz
  cd coreutils-8.29.64-1755f/
  ./configure && make check VERBOSE=yes

Failures are reported and details are in tests/test-suite.log

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

Changes since the previous snapshot are:

    maint: disable overly aggressive sc_gitignore_redundant

    * cfg.mk (sc_gitignore_redundant): Disabled for now as too
    aggressive flagging entries like /lib/arg-nonnull.h in
    a newly checked out repo.

    env: adjust diagnostics provided for shebang usage

    * src/env.c (main): Don't process '-' specially since
    that causes an issue on the openbsd getopt implementation
    where a lone '-' is now processed as an option, and anyway
    it doesn't particuarly help diagnosing common shebang
    usage issues.  Also don't restrict the extra diagnostics
    for shebang usage to the case with 3 arguments, as
    further arguments can be passed to a script.
    * tests/misc/env-S.pl: Adjust accordingly.

    tests: accept getopt errors without single-quotes

    On OpenBSD 6.2, invalid single options produce error messages
    without single quotes:

        $ ./src/chroot -/
        chroot: unknown option -- /

    As opposed to other systems:

        ./src/chroot: invalid option -- '/'

    Modify the grep search to accept this.

    * tests/misc/usage_vs_getopt.sh (checkprg): Change the grep pattern
    to accomodate no-single-quotes cases.

    tests: fix false failures when perl not available

    * tests/local.mk: Reference the stub that skips perl tests,
    with the correct path.

    tests: fix false failure with limited shebang lines

    * tests/misc/env-S-script.sh: Provide a wrapper to
    emulate shebang processing, but without length limits,
    which are 127 on Linux for example.

    maint: update gnulib to latest

    * gnulib: Update to latest, which incorporates
    a thread linking fix from Bruno Haible,
    which was seen on newer Ubuntu systems.

    tests: remove unused Data::Dumper perl module

    The module is not needed anymore (was used during development).
    Despite being a Perl core module, platforms like CentOS don't install
    it by default.  Reported by Bruno Haible at
    https://lists.gnu.org/r/coreutils/2018-06/msg00093.html.

    * tests/misc/csplit-suppress-matched.pl: Remove Data::Dumper.
