Description Upstream Release Monitoring 2016-03-28 12:12:37 UTC
Latest upstream release: 1.7
Current version/release in rawhide: 1.6-10.fc24
URL: http://www.gnu.org/software/gzip/

Please consult the package updates policy before you issue an update to a stable branch: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Updates_Policy

More information about the service that created this bug can be found at: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upstream_release_monitoring

Please keep in mind that with any upstream change, there may also be packaging changes that need to be made. Specifically, please remember that it is your responsibility to review the new version to ensure that the licensing is still correct and that no non-free or legally problematic items have been added upstream.

Comment 3 Upstream Release Monitoring 2016-03-28 12:12:54 UTC
Patches were not touched. All were applied properly

Comment 4 Petr Stodulka 2016-04-05 14:38:29 UTC
Just some info:
-dropped all patches (almost all issues are fixed in new upstream version,
sometimes in different way)
- only patch gzip-1.3.12-openbsd-owl-tmp.patch is untested - code is changed
  significantly and patch is undocumented from archaic time, so I drop it too

Here are the current NEWS entries:
===============================
** Changes in behavior

The GZIP environment variable is now obsolescent; gzip now warns if
it is used, and rejects attempts to use dangerous options or operands.
You can use an alias or script instead.

** New features

gzip now accepts the --synchronous option, which causes it to use
fsync and similar primitives to transfer output data to the output
file's storage device when the file system supports this. Although
this option makes gzip safer in the presence of system crashes, it
can make gzip considerably slower.

gzip now accepts the --rsyncable option. This option is accepted in
all modes, but has effect only when compressing: it makes the resulting
output more amenable to efficient use of rsync. For example, when a
large input file gets a small change, a gzip --rsyncable image of
that file will remain largely unchanged, too. Without --rsyncable,
even a tiny change in the input could result in a totally different
gzip-compressed output file.
