Please unblock coreutils/5.97-5.3
Hi,
please consider allowing coreutils into Etch. This series of
NMU's has been done to get coreutils into line with the SELinux code
we are shipping in Etch. The patches have been in play in Sid for a
long time, and we have taken care of any breakages wrt non-linux
architectures.
I the problem on the s390 buildd has been diagnosed as a
kernel bug, and should go away with new kernel images on the buildd.
I have had no problems building and running the exhaustive test suite
on raptor.
thanks,
manoj
coreutils (5.97-5.3) unstable; urgency=high
* This is a non-maintainer upload done with the maintainer's blessing,
to fix a FTBS bug, and to get the SELinux changes in through to Etch.
* Bug fix: "coreutils - FTBFS", thanks to Bastian Blank and Andreas
Barth. The problem is with a build time test suite, which did not
take into account that there could be two directory names with the
same inode, which is what happens if there is a bind mount. So this
is not anything s390 specific, nor is it a problem with the coreutils
package itself, just with the build time test. Applied a version of
the patch being used by upstream to fix the test.
coreutils (5.97-5.2) unstable; urgency=low
* This is an follow up non-maintainer upload to fix an issue introduced
in my last NMU. This fixes an FTBS bugs when building for non-SELinux
environments, for example, for non Linux architectures.
* Bug fix: "coreutils: FTBFS on hurd and kfreebsd: Unguarded usage of
SELinux code", thanks to Michael Banck. I missed out on guarding
assignments one. Rather than use the suggested patch (which adds two
members to a struct on non-selinux machines that would never get used,
I went back and corrected the non-selinux patch, since that is the
correct location to add this fix. The version of the patch included
in this version should do the right thing. (Closes: #396655).

coreutils (5.97-5.1) unstable; urgency=low
* With permission from the maintainer, this upload (from a non-maintainer)
updates the SELinux patch, synchronizing with the latest patches from
fedora core (:pserver:anonymous@cvs.fedora.redhat.com:/cvs/dist,
repository rpms/coreutils/devel). The patches had to be tweaked for
Debian. This bring coreutils into compatibility with the latest
version of SELinux now in Debian.
* Bug fix: "coreutils: Updated SELinux patch", thanks to Manoj
Srivastava. The NMU patch is available in that bug report,
essentially, this is a minimal change upload. (Closes: #394287).
