Update to 9.8 (#2397467)

Comment 2 Pádraig Brady 2025-09-22 18:58:20 UTC
Note when merging the I18N patch, you can drop all the fold changes and tests I think,
as fold upstream is now multi-byte aware and incorporates all the existing I18N tests (and more).

Comment 3 Upstream Release Monitoring 2025-09-22 19:03:57 UTC
the-new-hotness/release-monitoring.org's scratch build of coreutils-9.8-1.fc40.src.rpm for rawhide failed http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=137388108

PR: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/coreutils/pull-request/18

I also plan to execute tests from the RH's internal repository before merging.  BTW, I have a plan to open source those tests in the CentOS Stream tests namespace: https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/tests/.  Hopefully, I'll get to that soon...

Comment 5 Lukáš Zaoral 2025-09-23 14:59:07 UTC
The tests have finished and there are two failures but none of them is directly caused by this update.  They can be reproduced on Fedora 42 with the v9.6 release as well.
Therefore, I'm going to merge the PR tomorrow.

* `who -r` displays nothing when the systemd utmp back-end is in use (default since F42)
* `cp --preserve=xattr a b` now fails when both source and destination are on a NFSv4 share exported without the `security_label` option.  After some fix in kernel, `listxattr(3)` now
  lists `security.selinux` but this attribute cannot be set because it is apparently read-only and synthesised by the kernel:

# strace -s 100 --trace='/xattr' cp --preserve=xattr a b
flistxattr(3, NULL, 0)                  = 33
flistxattr(3, "system.nfs4_acl\0security.selinux\0", 33) = 33
fgetxattr(3, "system.nfs4_acl", NULL, 0) = 80
fgetxattr(3, "system.nfs4_acl", "\0\0\0\3\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\26\1\207\0\0\0\6OWNER@\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\22\0\201\0\0\0\6GROUP@\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\22\0\201\0\0\0\tEVERYONE@\0\0", 80) = 80
fsetxattr(4, "system.nfs4_acl", "\0\0\0\3\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\26\1\207\0\0\0\6OWNER@\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\22\0\201\0\0\0\6GROUP@\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\22\0\201\0\0\0\tEVERYONE@\0\0", 80, 0) = 0
fgetxattr(3, "security.selinux", NULL, 0) = 27
fgetxattr(3, "security.selinux", "system_u:object_r:nfs_t:s0", 27) = 27
fsetxattr(4, "security.selinux", "system_u:object_r:nfs_t:s0", 27, 0) = -1 EOPNOTSUPP (Operation not supported)
cp: setting attributes for 'b': Operation not supported

Well, the error itself is correct, `fsetxattr` failed, and `--preserve=mode` can be used as a workaround if the reason for using `--preserve=xattr` were NFSv4 ACLs,
but it still looks quite annoying.  The destination file will have `system_u:object_r:nfs_t:s0` synthesised anyway so despite the error it will end up with the same
xattrs as the source...

I'll create separate Fedora tickets for these tomorrow.

Comment 6 Fedora Update System 2025-09-24 09:01:07 UTC
FEDORA-2025-d98e6c2044 (coreutils-9.8-1.fc44) has been submitted as an update to Fedora 44.
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2025-d98e6c2044

Comment 7 Fedora Update System 2025-09-24 12:17:18 UTC
FEDORA-2025-d98e6c2044 (coreutils-9.8-1.fc44) has been pushed to the Fedora 44 stable repository.
If problem still persists, please make note of it in this bug report.

Comment 8 Lukáš Zaoral 2025-09-24 12:29:18 UTC
* `who -r` - tracked in bz#2397781, closed as won't do because concept of runlevels in general was removed in systemd 258 which has just landed in F43 and Rawhide
* copy with xattrs on NFSv4 - tracked in bz#2397782
