Change logs for coreutils source package in Edgy

  • coreutils (5.96-5ubuntu4) edgy; urgency=low
    
      * Add '64_mkdir-chmod-race.patch' to solve --mode race when using
        mkdir in a world-writable directory.  Another local user could
        use the race condition to gain unintended permissions to files.
        This is discussed in Debian bug #304556.  Also solved in
        upstream version 6.1.
      * CVE-2005-1039

  • coreutils (5.96-5ubuntu3) edgy; urgency=low
    
      * Revert 64_chmod-race.patch, which causes the testsuite to fail.  I'm
        assured that a better patch is in the works, which should work better.

  • coreutils (5.96-5ubuntu2) edgy; urgency=low
    
      * Add '64_chmod-race.patch' to solve --mode race when working in a
        world-writable directory.  Another local user could use the race
        condition to gain unintended permissions to files.  (Solves Debian
        bug #304556)
      * CVE-2005-1039

  • coreutils (5.96-5ubuntu1) edgy; urgency=low
    
      * Merge from debian unstable.
      * Update `60_ubuntu-force-clobber-specials.patch' to 1. work
        on fifos too and 2. not have a race which can make it overwrite
        things when -f (or equivalent) is not supplied.
      * Replace `99a_fix_cp_manpage': the old patch edited an cp.1 which is an
        an output file.  Instead, use the patch from Jim Meyering's message of
        6.2.2006 in Debian #351601.
      * Remaining Ubuntu differences:
        - 60_ubuntu-force-clobber-specials.patch (improved; reported upstream).
        - 99a_fix_cp_manpage (improved; Debian #351606, Malone #30155).
        - 98_fix_chmod_manpage (Malone #24896)
        - Slight improvement to references for md5sum diversion in
          coreutils.preinst (See comments in Debian #340119).
      * Differences incorporated by Debian so no longer carried by Ubuntu:
        - Mad md5sum diversion fixups.  (5.93-5ubuntu5 and earlier.)
    
    coreutils (5.96-5) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * [62] fix segfault when diropen fails on remove  Closes: #375333
      * [63] warn on append with trunc Closes: #373736
      * fix idiotic typo in build rules for hurd Closes: #344166
    
    coreutils (5.96-4) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Fix deprecation messages Closes: #375335
      * Try to clobber chcon man page build on hurd Closes: #344166
    
    coreutils (5.96-3) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Follow strategy from Ian Jackson to better deal with the dpkg md5sum
        mess. Only remove dpkg's mad md5sum diversion `once' (ie, on upgrade
        from non-/usr/bin/md5sum-supplying coreutils).  This preserves any later
        sysadmin-installed diversions of md5sum.textutils.
      * Add NEWS.Debian notes on the POSIX2_VERSION change
      * add who --ips option to display IPs instead of hostnames. Code taken
        from last.c in sysvinit-2.86.ds1.
        Closes: #363126
    
    coreutils (5.96-2) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * [60] Add deprecation warnings for tail +n and sort +n, but allow that
        syntax
      * Build-depend on autoconf 2.59.cvs.2006.05.25-1 to avoid bug that could
        affect coreutils performance. Backporters may be able to weaken that
        dependency.
    
    coreutils (5.96-1) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * New upstream version
      * Don't override posix version at build time anymore. Upstream has
        made this less painful; is this viable for etch?
      * Update copyright file (Closes: #356532)
    
    coreutils (5.94-2) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Reorder 55_coreutils.selinux.patch to fix builds on hurd
        (Closes: #344166)
      * [58_getcwd-chroot] fix pwd failure on certain bind mounts
        (Closes: #355810)
      * [59_dircolors-moreterms] add rxvt-unicode & mlterm to dircolors
        (Closes: #270139, #317503)
      * Update copyright file (thanks Joost van Baal) (Closes: #356532)
      * Extend the diversion hackery (Closes: #361799)
    
    coreutils (5.94-1) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * New upstream version (Closes: #349530, #273781, #332779, #341912)
        - upstream has reverted the behavior for stat --format
          and added a new --printf option with the new behavior
          (Closes: #339136)
        - tail -f works on append-only files again (Closes: #339400)
        - tail -c 3 works again (Closes: #340364)
        - tail -0f work for multiple files (but use -n 0 -f instead)
          (Closes: #341785)
      * [99_dircolors-shell] dircolors test doesn't depend on the shell
      * Fix md5sum diversion problems with a hacksaw (Closes: #340119)

  • coreutils (5.93-5ubuntu5) edgy; urgency=low
    
      * Mad md5sum diversion fix fix: Remove man1/md5sum.textutils.1.gz
        not (mistakenly) the always-nonexistent man1/md5sum.textutils.

  • coreutils (5.93-5ubuntu4) dapper; urgency=low
    
      * Only remove dpkg's mad md5sum diversion `once' (ie, on upgrade from
        non-/usr/bin/md5sum-supplying corutils).  This preserves any later
        sysadmin-installed diversions of md5sum.textutils.
      * Fix md5sum diversion problems with a hacksaw (Closes: #340119)
        (change imported from Debian 5.94-1: some additional rm -f's to make
         the diversion removal more aggressive^Wrobust).
