Re: new snapshot available: coreutils-9.5.257-9c068.tar.xz

[Pádraig Brady]

We plan to release coreutils-9.6 in the next couple of days
so any testing you can do on various different systems would be most welcome.

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

You can download the coreutils snapshot in xz format (5.9 MiB) 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) = 4fbe710e90723e61d6358f83cd1231d9

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

To test, follow this standard procedure:

         tar -xf coreutils-ss.tar.xz
         cd coreutils-9.5.257-9c068/
         ./configure && make check VERBOSE=yes

Failures are shown, and details are in tests/test-suite.log
Please report/attach any issues to coreutils@gnu.org

--------------------------------------
This snapshot was bootstrapped with:

         Autoconf 2.72.70-9ff9
         Automake 1.16.5
         Gnulib v1.0-1371-g54636e00ee
         Bison 3.8.2
