coreutils (5.2.1-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * remove su for kfreebsd (Closes: #225131)
  * add yacc to build depends. forgot that the date patch [31] forced a 
    rebuild from getdate.y (Closes: #259653)

 -- Michael Stone <mstone@debian.org>  Fri, 16 Jul 2004 07:28:41 -0400

coreutils (5.2.1-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream version (Closes: #245360, #244784, #259282, #246509)
    - Fixes ls --block-size="1" (Closes: #237330)
    - `chown user.group file' now has its traditional meaning even when
      conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, so long as no user has a name
      containing `.' that happens to equal `user.group'.
    - time stamps output by stat now include actual fractional seconds,
      when available -- or .0000000 for files without that information.
    - rmdir -p exits with status 1 on error; formerly it sometimes exited
      with status 0 when given more than one argument.
    - chgrp and chown now accept POSIX-mandated -L, -H, and -P options
    - du can now process hierarchies of virtually unlimited depth.
    - du's -H option will soon have the meaning required by POSIX
      (--dereference-args, aka -D) rather then the current meaning of --si.
      Now, using -H elicits a warning to that effect.
  * [53] Update acl patch for 5.2.1. Now based on FC2 coreutils patch.
  * Removed xattr patch. AFAICT this isn't particularly useful for anything
    except selinux, and other selinux support isn't included. Also, the 
    option added with this patch isn't being used consistently between 
    different linux distributions and I'd rather not support something that
    will cause incompatibilities. If anyone was depending on this support
    please contact me with details. (Closes: #244603)
  * fix minor typo in README.Debian (Closes: #218333)
  * [31] seconds defaults to 0 when using something like 
    date -d '21:04 +0100' (Closes: #238046)
  * rebuild should fix hppa problem (Closes: #219458)
  * remove join -n
  * update documentation for test so that the FD parameter to test -t is 
    mandatory (Closes: #255694)

 -- Michael Stone <mstone@debian.org>  Wed, 14 Jul 2004 06:13:38 -0400

coreutils (5.0.91-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * add bzip2 to build-deps (Closes: #214094)
  * fix stupid typo in preinst info cleanup script (Closes: #214134)
  * make sure /usr/share/info doesn't contain a dir file 
    (Closes: #214050, #214138)

 -- Michael Stone <mstone@debian.org>  Sat, 04 Oct 2003 18:35:32 -0400

coreutils (5.0.91-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream version
    - date accepts a new option --rfc-2822, an alias for --rfc-822
    - split accepts a new option -d or --numeric-suffixes
    - cp, install, mv, and touch now preserve microsecond resolution
    - sort now supports the zero byte (NUL) as a field separator; use -t '\0'
      The -t '' option, which formerly had no effect, is now an error
    - sort option order no longer matters for -S, -d, -i, -o, and -t
    - tail --allow-missing option is deprecated; use --retry instead
    - `sha1sum --check' now accepts the BSD format for SHA1 message digests
    - who -l now means `who --login', not `who --lookup', per POSIX. Feature
      was deprecated in woody
    - mv renaming file onto differently-cased form of the same name no longer
      causes data loss on case-insensitive filesystem like vfat. Name-mapping
      filesystems such as ntfs or hpfs can still have problems, see NEWS file
      for details. (Closes: #189319)
    - seq's default step is 1, even if LAST < FIRST (Closes: #208494)
  * [30] upstream patch for du -D with symlinks (Closes: #211591)
  * make sure buildinfo is cleaned up
  * debian/newfiles aren't used any more
  * old {file,shell,text}utils info doc indices are cleaned up (Closes: #209160)
  * add sha1sum to description (Closes: #211724)

 -- Michael Stone <mstone@debian.org>  Fri, 03 Oct 2003 23:01:28 -0400

coreutils (5.0.90-3) unstable; urgency=low

  * [28,29] don't hang in who or pinky trying to look up the fake
    host entries that screen puts in utmp
  * [50,51] acl support
    - libacl1-dev build dependency
    - probably won't work on non-linux, patches welcome for hurd et al. if
      they break
  * [52] extended attribute support
    - libattr1-dev build dependency (still necessary with new libc?)
    - not sure about this one, it might come out (is it always valid to
      preserve ea's even if we don't know what they are for?)

 -- Michael Stone <mstone@debian.org>  Mon, 18 Aug 2003 19:47:29 -0400

coreutils (5.0.90-2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * [27] tail -n 0 -f no longer causes busy wait/hang (Closes: #205251)

 -- Michael Stone <mstone@debian.org>  Wed, 13 Aug 2003 22:46:30 -0400

coreutils (5.0.90-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream version
    - `test -t', `test --help', and `test --version' now silently exit
      with status 0.  To test whether standard output is a terminal, use
      `test -t 1'.  To get help and version info for `test', use
      `[ --help' and `[ --version'.
      `test' now exits with status 2 (not 1) if there is an error.
    - rm without --recursive (aka -r or -R) no longer prompts regarding
      unwritable directories, as required by POSIX.
    - uniq -c now uses a SPACE, not a TAB between the count and the
      corresponding line, as required by POSIX.
    - expr now exits with status 2 if the expression is syntactically valid,
      and with status 3 if an error occurred.  POSIX requires this.
    - md5sum --check now accepts the output of the BSD/OpenSSL md5sum program
    - chown: `.' is no longer recognized as a separator when POSIX2 version
      is >= 200112
  * [26] split-fail test doesn't fail
  * revert 17, patch doesn't work anyway. 26 is a new patch for the problem
    of building as non-root in a chroot owned by the builder. 
    (Closes: #204778)
  * use dh_buildinfo
  * standards-version 3.6.0
  * add readlink to description (Closes: #204974)
  * temporarily override posix version to 199209 so I can upload this package.
    need a transition plan. try setting the environment variable
    _POSIX2_VERSION on your system to "200112" and see how much breaks.
    I encourage debian developers to update their packages so the above works.

coreutils (4.5.10-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream version
   - printf no longer segfaults for a negative field width or precision
   - shred now always enables --exact for non-regular files
   - du no longer lists hard-linked files more than once
   - du no longer dumps core on some systems due to `infinite' recursion
     via nftw's use of the buggy replacement function in getcwd.c
     (Closes: #183962)
   - portability patches for a few vendor compilers and 64-bit systems
   - du -S *really* now works like it did before the change in 4.5.5
  * make it clearer that {file,shell,text}utils are obsolete
    (Closes: #184191, #183631)

 -- Michael Stone <mstone@debian.org>  Tue, 18 Mar 2003 19:35:23 -0500

coreutils (4.5.9-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream version
   - du no longer truncates file sizes or sums to fit in 32-bit size_t
   - work around Linux kernel bug in getcwd (fixed in 2.4.21-pre4), so that pwd
     now fails if the name of the working directory is so long that getcwd
     truncates it.  Before it would print the truncated name and exit successfully.
   - `df /some/mount-point' no longer hangs on a GNU libc system when another
      hard-mounted NFS file system (preceding /some/mount-point in /proc/mounts)
     is inaccessible.
   - rm -rf now gives an accurate diagnostic when failing to remove a file
     under certain unusual conditions
   - mv and `cp --preserve=links' now preserve multiple hard links even under
     certain unusual conditions where they used to fail

 -- Michael Stone <mstone@debian.org>  Thu, 06 Mar 2003 07:09:05 -0500

coreutils (4.5.8-2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Fix typesize problem in du that caused wrapping at 2G
    (Closes: #183210, #183393)
  * Added upstream patch to fix behavior where mv would fail to move files
    under certain (rare) conditions
  * Added upstream patch to fix error message "cannot chdir" when rm -rf fails
    to remove a file because of insufficient permission (Closes: #178471)

 -- Michael Stone <mstone@debian.org>  Tue, 04 Mar 2003 20:33:14 -0500

coreutils (4.5.8-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream version
    - du -S once again works like it did before the change in 4.5.5
    - stat accepts a new file format, %B, for the size of each block 
      reported by %b
    - du accepts new option: --apparent-size
    - du --bytes (-b) works the same way it did in fileutils-3.16 and before
    - du reports proper sizes for directories (not zero) 
    - df now always displays under `Filesystem', the device file name
      corresponding to the listed mount point.  Before, for a block- or
      character- special file command line argument, df would display that
      argument.  E.g., `df /dev/hda' would list `/dev/hda' as the
      `Filesystem', rather than say /dev/hda3 (the device on which `/' is
      mounted), as it does now.
    - test now works properly when invoked from a set user ID or set group ID
      context and when testing access to files subject to alternate protection
      mechanisms.  For example, without this change, a set-UID program that
      invoked `test -w F' (to see if F is writable) could mistakenly report
      that it *was* writable, even though F was on a read-only file system, or
      F had an ACL prohibiting write access, or F was marked as immutable.
  * Add ipv6 support for name resolution (from "J.H.M. Dassen (Ray)"
    <dm@zensunni.demon.nl>) (Closes: 181817)
  * Provide readlink (Replaces: debianutils <= 2.3.1)
