The test package 8.23-1 is no longer available; for anyone that tried the test package, the main difference is dropping the hostname utility in favor of the separate hostname package. NEWS: =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D This is a new upstream release; for upstream changes, see /usr/share/doc/coreutils/NEWS. It is also my first time building coreutils for 64-bit cygwin in the capacity as maintainer (thanks to others that helped in the initial transition to 64-bit). Of note, there is no longer an 'su' program in coreutils; this is an upstream decision (many Linux distros are getting su from other packages, and even though cygwin's su had come from coreutils, it was heavily patched and doesn't work as smoothly as on Linux). I'm debating whether it is worth trying to capture the last release of coreutils' su, as patched to work on cygwin, for distribution as an independent package; if anyone was relying on that program, now is your chance to speak up. Also, if you need the 'hostname' program, it is now provided as a separate package rather than part of coreutils. In building this version of coreutils, the testsuite complained about ACL detection on directories not working as expected; if you notice 'ls -l' output looking strange on a directory when compared to 8.15, please report the details, so I can investigate if this is a regression or something I need to patch. If you encounter a regression, please report it here rather than upstream. See also the upstream documentation in /usr/share/doc/coreutils/. Help in porting the stdbuf utility to cygwin would be appreciated.
