findutils-4.2.27

[Matthew Burgess]

There wasn't an existing bug to handle updates to findutils which is not surprising as it hasn't been updated since 1994!

Linking this bug to 30

Sorry for the delay in closing this one - it was committed days a ago.

Version increment (4.2.0). See NEWS for the long list of new features and bug fixes.

Version increment (4.2.1) - thanks to Juerg Billeter. NEWS has this:

• Major changes in release 4.2.1

Bug Fixes * find -iname now works correctly on systems that have an fnmatch() function

that does not support FNM_CASEFOLD

* updatedb now uses signal names for "trap" instead of numbers,

as per bug #9465 (see

​http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/trap.html) * Better support for systems lacking intmax_t Other Changes findutils now uses a newer version of gnulib (dated 2004-10-17).

Version increment (4.2.2).

[Matthew Burgess]

Version increment (4.2.3). Here's the latest from NEWS:

• Major changes in release 4.2.3

Functionality Changes * Added new action -delete which deletes things that find matches. * Added new action -quit which causes find to exit immediately. * A new format directive '%D' for "find -printf" prints the device number. * The -ls predicate no longer truncates user or group names. * Added new option "-d" which is a synonym for "-depth" for compatibility

with Mac OS, OpenBSD and FreeBSD. This option is already deprecated since the POSIX standard specifies "-depth".

* Added two new format specifiers to the -printf action; these are

%y and %Y. They indicate the type of the file as a single letter; these are the same latters as are used by the "-type" test.

* If a parent directory changes during the execution of find,

the error message we issue identifies the nature of the change (for example the previous and current inode numbers of the directoru we've just returned out of).

Other Changes * Non-functional code changes to silence compiler warnings.

Version increment (4.2.19)

[randy@…]

I built SVN-20050303 a couple of days ago and used the most recent version of Findutils (4.2.19). I've not noticed any problems or issues associated with it, though I've not tried out all the IPRoute tools that the IPRoute patch may affect with "newer Findutils".

Just thought I'd mention this for when an update to the Findutils package is done.

[jim@…]

FinVersion increment (4.2.20)

[Matthew Burgess]

Reopening as this isn't in SVN yet.

[Matthew Burgess]

Sorry Jim, I'm having a bad morning :(

[Matthew Burgess]

Version increment (4.2.23). Includes a fix for a recently discovered security vulnerability

[archaic@…]

Is this change going to go into testing due to it being a security fix or should we backport a patch?

[Matthew Burgess]

Let's just upgrade it. Far less work than backporting a patch, getting it into LFS format and putting the explanatory text in.

[archaic@…]

Ok. Let me grab a copy and run a build with it to make sure nothing funny happens.

[archaic@…]

Fixed in trunk (r6082). Awaiting merge to testing.
