Here are tarballs and signatures.
If I don't hear about problems (feedback about successes would be nice),
I'll make a coreutils-6.9.90 test release soon.

Here are the ChangeLog entries since the preceding snapshot:

2007-10-28  Jim Meyering  <address@hidden>

        Run autoreconf, not just autoconf, to avoid warnings.
        * GNUmakefile (dummy): Otherwise, we'd sometimes get a warning
        about autoconf version mismatch between what was used to generate
        aclocal.m4 and the currently-running autoconf.

        Require gnulib's printf-posix module, to support Interix.
        * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add printf-posix.

        Help xgettext recognize more printf-style format strings.
        * bootstrap.conf (XGETTEXT_OPTIONS): Add directives for
        error, error_at_line, xasprintf, xfprintf and xprintf.

2007-10-27  Jim Meyering  <address@hidden>

        Adjust format string so msgfmt doesn't object.
        * src/df.c (main): Use "%s%s" (not %smsg) to print "msg" with or
        without a "Warning: " prefix.  Reported by Clytie Siddall.

        Clean up tests/Makefile.am.
        * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove $(TESTS).  No longer defined.
        (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Remove definition.

2007-10-26  Jim Meyering  <address@hidden>

        * build-aux/check.mk: Merge with latest from Akim.

        Add a test for the printf fix of 2007-10-21.
        * tests/misc/printf-surprise: New file.  Test for 2007-10-21's fix.
        * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add printf-surprise.

2007-10-24  Micah Cowan  <address@hidden>

        Remove vestiges of cvs-gnulib-checkout process.  Now we use git.
        * bootstrap: Remove support for now-unnecessary option, --cvs-user,
        and envvars CVS_USER, CVS_RSH.

2007-10-24  Micah Cowan  <address@hidden>

        Tell xgettext that "ARG1 % ARG2" is not a C format string.
        * src/expr.c (usage): Add a comment to override xgettext's default
        behavior, which would classify "ARG1 % ARG2" as a fprintf-style
        format string.  Reported by Clytie Siddall.

2007-10-24  Jim Meyering  <address@hidden>

        Avoid diagnostics from sha1sum when there is no cached checksum.
        * bootstrap (update_po_files): Skip the sha1sum check if the po.s1
        file hasn't been created yet.

        Get gnulib from the git repository, not from an obsolete cvs one.
        * bootstrap: Suggestion from Micah Cowan.

        Doc improvements.
        * README-hacking: Prefer the no-hyphen variant of git commands,
        e.g., use "git pull" not "git-pull".
        Don't presume that the only way to read this document is via a
        prior git clone: provide instructions for cloning coreutils, too.

        * README-hacking: Add "cd automake" in build instructions.
        From Bob Proulx.

        Don't fail part 2 of tests/rm/unreadable when run as root.
        * tests/rm/unreadable: With UID == 0, expect different results.
        Reported by Mike Frysinger.

2007-10-23  Jim Meyering  <address@hidden>

        * README-hacking: Refer to LZMA Utils <http://tukaani.org/lzma/>.

2007-10-22  Paul Eggert  <address@hidden>

        * README-hacking: Describe how to build with LZMA.
