new snapshot available: coreutils-8.2.52-4db2f

[Jim Meyering]

I'm aiming for a release of coreutils-8.3 tomorrow or Thursday,
so if you can find time to build this and run tests before then,
please do.

Here's the NEWS, then shortlogs for coreutils and gnulib:

** Bug fixes

  ls -l --color no longer prints "argetm" in front of dangling
  symlinks when the 'LINK target' directive was given to dircolors.
  [bug introduced in fileutils-4.0]

  rm -r --one-file-system works once again.
  The rewrite to make rm use fts introduced a regression whereby
  a commmand of the above form would fail for all subdirectories.
  [bug introduced in coreutils-8.0]

  stat -f recognizes more file system types: k-afs, fuseblk, gfs/gfs2, ocfs2,
  and rpc_pipefs. Also Minix V3 is displayed correctly as minix3, not minux3.
  [bug introduced in coreutils-8.1]

  tail -f (inotify-enabled) once again works with remote files.
  The use of inotify with remote files meant that any changes to those
  files that was not done from the local system would go unnoticed.
  [bug introduced in coreutils-7.5]

  tail -F (inotify-enabled) would abort when a tailed file is repeated
  renamed-aside and then recreated.
  [bug introduced in coreutils-7.5]

  tail -F (inotify-enabled) could fail to follow renamed files.
  E.g., given a "tail -F a b" process, running "mv a b" would
  make tail stop tracking additions to "b".
  [bug introduced in coreutils-7.5]

  touch -a and touch -m could trigger bugs in some file systems, such
  as xfs or ntfs-3g, and fail to update timestamps.
  [bug introduced in coreutils-8.1]

  wc now prints counts atomically so that concurrent
  processes will not intersperse their output.
  [the issue dates back to the initial implementation]
