sum,cksum: consistently emit detailed write errors

2026-05-01T00:59:38Z

Previously the string from strerror would only be printed for some algorithms: $ cksum -a sha2 -l 256 /dev/null > /dev/full cksum: write error: No space left on device $ cksum -a sysv /dev/null > /dev/full cksum: write error This patch fixes it so that the error information is always printed: $ ./src/cksum -a sha2 -l 256 /dev/null > /dev/full cksum: write error: No space left on device $ ./src/cksum -a sysv /dev/null > /dev/full cksum: write error: No space left on device * src/cksum.c (output_file): Don't check for a write error here. (main): Check for it here instead. * tests/misc/io-errors.sh: Add a 'cksum' invocation for each supported algorithm. https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/issues/258

2026-04-27T10:15:44Z

* tests/misc/tty-eof.pl: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2463168

tests: all: ensure closed stdout is handled appropriately

2026-04-25T15:18:24Z

* tests/misc/io-errors.sh: Add a check to ensure we diagose writing to closed stdout. Also ensure we exit with failure in other cases. * tests/misc/write-errors.sh: Likewise.

comm: don't close standard input twice

2026-04-23T02:12:44Z

* NEWS: Mention the bug fix. * src/comm.c (usage): Remove mention that FILE1 and FILE2 cannot both be standard input. (compare_files): Only close standard input once. * doc/coreutils.texi (comm invocation): Document the behavior of 'comm - -' which is not portable to all implementations. * tests/comm/dash-dash.sh: New file. * tests/misc/comm.pl: Move to tests/comm/comm.pl. * tests/local.mk (all_tests): Add the new test. Rename the existing test.

tests: reinstate logname error verification

2026-04-17T15:15:08Z

* tests/misc/user.sh: Modify the "unshare -U logname" test, so that it does not fail on glibc versions (< 2.28, >= 2.38) that do a fallback lookup based on the tty.

tests: Avoid accidental matching of the vendor field of $host, part 2

2026-04-17T04:16:08Z

* tests/local.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Remove host_triplet. * tests/chgrp/basic.sh: Use $host_os instead of $host_triplet. * tests/misc/io-errors.sh: Likewise.

tests: avoid a failure on musl

2026-04-16T21:20:49Z

* tests/misc/io-errors.sh: Allow a generic error string on musl since the first line is emitted immediately instead of being buffered as expected. Reported by Bruno Haible.

tests: avoid failure on Manjaro Linux

2026-04-16T20:07:46Z

* tests/misc/user.sh: Comment out part of test. Reported by Bruno Haible.

tests: avoid intermittent false failures with ksh

2026-04-15T14:34:19Z

As noted in https://bugs.gnu.org/9089 ksh gives intermittent ECONNRESET errors with closed pipes. This can be seen reliably on Linux with: ksh -c 'yes | (sleep .1; head -n10 >/dev/null)' * tests/misc/io-errors.sh: Avoid part of test on ksh. * tests/misc/write-errors.sh: Likewise.
