That was for gnulib. The patch below pulls the fix into coreutils. I'll probably make a release in the next two weeks, partly in order to forestall bug reports when more countries switch. Besides, we're already up to three "Bug fixes", even if they're all minor. ** Bug fixes rm -rf DIR would fail with "Device or resource busy" on Cygwin with NWFS and NcFsd file systems. This did not affect Unix/Linux-based kernels. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.0, when rm began using fts] tac no longer fails to handle two or more non-seekable inputs [bug introduced in coreutils-5.3.0] tail -f no longer tries to use inotify on GPFS file systems [you might say this was introduced in coreutils-7.5, along with inotify support, but the GPFS magic number wasn't in the usual places then.] >From 53f48c7b0e4e574a73f5a649f938a0b537489d34 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Meyering <meyer...@redhat.com> Date: Sun, 30 Oct 2011 12:42:55 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] tests: update gnulib to latest to avoid FP DST-related test failure Otherwise, "make check" would fail after e.g., a CEST-to-CST daylight savings transition.
