Coreutils version 6.9.91 has been released.
This is a bug-fix-only release.
There has been unusually few reports of problems with
the previous release. I hope this is a trend.
If you haven't heard about the GNU coreutils, the FAQ is a good
place to start: <http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/faq/>.
Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this release.
For a summary of changes and contributors, see here:
http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=shortlog;h=7477cd16628baefad1bd7848810e7c1e1774a7c0
Here are the compressed sources:
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-6.9.91.tar.gz (8.7MB)
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-6.9.91.tar.lzma (3.6MB)
Here are the GPG detached signatures[*]:
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-6.9.91.tar.gz.sig
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-6.9.91.tar.lzma.sig
If you haven't heard about LZMA yet, see <http://tukaani.org/lzma/>.
Since the lzma-compressed tarball is 2MB smaller than the .bz2 one,
and since it decompresses twice as fast, I no longer create bzip2-
compressed tarballs.
[*] You can use either of the above signature files to verify that
the corresponding file (without the .sig suffix) is intact. First,
be sure to download both the .sig file and the corresponding tarball.
Then, run a command like this:
gpg --verify coreutils-6.9.91.tar.gz.sig
If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
then run this command to import it:
gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys B9AB9A16
and rerun the `gpg --verify' command.
This release was bootstrapped with the following tools:
Autoconf 2.61a.329-8fab
Automake 1.10a
Bison 2.3a

*****************
How can you help?
*****************
If you're interested in lending a hand, or just want to use
the latest versions right now, you can build these programs
and run the test suite like this:
gzip -dc coreutils-6.9.91.tar.gz | tar xf -
cd coreutils-6.9.91
./configure
make
make -k check >& log
grep FAIL log
Be sure to use make's -k option so that make doesn't stop
just because one of the earlier tests fails.
Please report any build problems or test failures to the
bug-coreutils@xxxxxxx mailing list.
There are detailed instructions in the `Reporting bugs:' section
of the README file.

http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/
