sysutils/coreutils: 8.23 -> 8.25

Description

sysutils/coreutils: 8.23 -> 8.25

  • cp now correctly copies files with a hole at the end of the file, and extents allocated beyond the apparent size of the file. That combination resulted in the trailing hole not being reproduced.
  • cut --fields no longer outputs extraneous characters on some uClibc configs.
  • install -D again copies relative file names when absolute file names are also specified along with an absolute destination directory name.
  • ls no longer prematurely wraps lines when printing short file names.
  • mv no longer causes data loss due to removing a source directory specified multiple times, when that directory is also specified as the destination.
  • shred again uses defined patterns for all iteration counts.
  • sort --debug -b now correctly marks the matching extents for keys that specify an offset for the first field.
  • tail -F now works with initially non existent files on a remote file system.

Please note: usability issue for 'ls' is discussed in
