Trigger rebuild for hppa.

19. By Adam Conrad on 2007-07-30

Add patches/99_cu_futimens.patch to rename the internal futimens
function, so it doesn't conflict with the same from glibc-2.6.

18. By Martin Pitt on 2007-05-16

* Merge to Debian unstable. Remaining Ubuntu changes:
  - 60_ubuntu-force-clobber-specials.patch: Cause cp to replace special
    files when "-a -f" is specified, and the special already exists; instead
    of just erroring. (Reported upstream in
    http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-07/msg00018.html)
  - 64_mkdir-chmod-race.patch: Avoid --mode race when using mkdir in a
    world-writable directory. Another local user could use the race
    condition to gain unintended permissions to files. (Debian #304556,
    fixed upstream in 6.1). [CVE-2005-1039]
  - 98_fix_chmod_manpage: Fix description of the sticky bit for directories.
    (Debian #376745, LP #24896, fix applied upstream)
  - 99a_fix_cp_manpage: Fix formatting of 'mv' and 'cp' manpages. (Debian
    #351601, fix applied upstream).

fix incorrect merge of '60_ubuntu-force-clobber-specials.patch'

15. By Michael Vogt on 2006-11-22

* Merge from debian unstable.
* Update `60_ubuntu-force-clobber-specials.patch'
* Update `64_mkdir-chmod-race.patch'
* Update `98_fix_chmod_manpage'
* Update `99a_fix_cp_manpage'

14. By Kees Cook on 2006-09-17

* Add '64_mkdir-chmod-race.patch' to solve --mode race when using
  mkdir in a world-writable directory. Another local user could
  use the race condition to gain unintended permissions to files.
  This is discussed in Debian bug #304556. Also solved in
  upstream version 6.1.
* CVE-2005-1039

13. By Adam Conrad on 2006-08-23

Revert 64_chmod-race.patch, which causes the testsuite to fail. I'm
assured that a better patch is in the works, which should work better.

12. By Kees Cook on 2006-08-11

* Add '64_chmod-race.patch' to solve --mode race when working in a
  world-writable directory. Another local user could use the race
  condition to gain unintended permissions to files. (Solves Debian
  bug #304556)
* CVE-2005-1039

11. By Ian Jackson on 2006-07-04

* Merge from debian unstable.
* Update `60_ubuntu-force-clobber-specials.patch' to 1. work
  on fifos too and 2. not have a race which can make it overwrite
  things when -f (or equivalent) is not supplied.
* Replace `99a_fix_cp_manpage': the old patch edited an cp.1 which is an
  an output file. Instead, use the patch from Jim Meyering's message of
  6.2.2006 in Debian #351601.
* Remaining Ubuntu differences:
  - 60_ubuntu-force-clobber-specials.patch (improved; reported upstream).
  - 99a_fix_cp_manpage (improved; Debian #351606, Malone #30155).
  - 98_fix_chmod_manpage (Malone #24896)
  - Slight improvement to references for md5sum diversion in
    coreutils.preinst (See comments in Debian #340119).
* Differences incorporated by Debian so no longer carried by Ubuntu:
  - Mad md5sum diversion fixups. (5.93-5ubuntu5 and earlier.)
