new snapshot, and a huge set of coreutils test results


From: Jim Meyering
Subject: new snapshot, and a huge set of coreutils test results
Date: Thu, 17 Apr 2008 19:57:17 +0200

I've received a large set of build and test results from a user who
wishes to remain anonymous.  That set includes configure/make/make-check
results for 163 system/compiler/env combinations.  There's no way I can
triage all of that before release.  Maybe others who care about some of
the affected platforms will lend a hand.

However, there are a few things to be aware of:

* there are some openbsd failures in these logs,
  but they should be fixed, now.

* Compilation errors due to remove.c's declaration-after-code
  should be ignored.  The c99-to-c89 patch mentioned in README
  was not applied.

* some failures are due to ZFS ACLs via Linux NFS and cp/mv
  reporting failure to set permissions.  This is a known problem.

* I'm sure there are more, ...

The lzma-compressed tarball is under 400KB, but the uncompressed
logs are over 30MB.

I'm publishing this mainly so that people who care about the affected
platforms can investigate further.  If there's something really important
hiding in all of those logs, I might delay the coreutils release further,
but it's not likely.

Here's what I hope will be the final snapshot before 6.11:

=================================================
coreutils snapshot:
  http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-ss.tar.gz        8.9 MB
  http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-ss.tar.lzma      3.6 MB
  http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-ss.tar.gz.sig
  http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-ss.tar.lzma.sig

  http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-6.10.194-0d03b.tar.gz
  http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-6.10.194-0d03b.tar.lzma

Changes since 6.10.183-512c9:

Jim Meyering (10):
      doc: fix typo
      seq: work around floating point inaccuracies on more systems
      tests: accommodate a different errno string on Irix 6.5
      tests: don't fail on systems without a "stat" syscall
      md5sum, sha1sum, etc: handle invalid input (i.e., don't segfault)
      tests: avoid mkdir/selinux failure when mknod is a shell built-in
      tests: add a comment explaining the potential failure
      avoid "may be used uninitialized" warning from newer gcc
      mknod --help: note that this command may be a shell built-in
      tests: accommodate built-in mknod more cleanly

Matthew Woehlke (1):
      tests: accommodate built-in mknod more cleanly still
