UnivrslSuprBoxSorry to interrupt celebrations, but I'm a bit perplexed where to turn. Ubuntu 23.04 and 23.10, and Debian bookworm all released with GNU Coreutils 9.1 which is a little buggy wrt `--preserve`, `--parents`, and some other things in `cp`, `install`, and the like. lp:2017414, debian:1035531, and potentially others track it...18:21
-ubottu:#ubuntu-devel- Launchpad bug 2017414 in coreutils (Ubuntu) "cp --parents fails without reason" [Undecided, Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/201741418:21
-ubottu:#ubuntu-devel- Debian bug 1035531 in coreutils "coreutils: fix regressions in copy dir-relative operations" [Important, Open] https://bugs.debian.org/103553118:21
UnivrslSuprBoxCoreutils 9.4 fixes all these problems, but it seems like the maintainer for coreutils in Debian hasn't uploaded in a while.18:22
UnivrslSuprBoxWhere would I turn to get the gears turning on a new release of coreutils of all things? Can that even be NMU'd? Seems like it's something that I or someone else would need to start work on _now_ in order to have it ready for 24.0418:23
tsimonq2UnivrslSuprBox: Hey stranger :) looks like _doko merged it last, hopefully he can give you some insight.21:05
UnivrslSuprBoxtsimonq2: howdy! Guess who has a build system full of all of the things that are broken in 9.1...21:07
tsimonq2UnivrslSuprBox: Nice, heh. With coordination from Matthias and related release teams, I'm happy to sponsor related uploads to Debian or Ubuntu :)21:10
Unit193Can n be open yet?  I have a package that only falis Ubuntu autopkgtests so I have to do a few test uploads to see if it can be easily fixed. :P22:04

tsimonq2...before I dig too far, has anyone noticed a change in quilt behavior for the worst recently?23:01
tsimonq2It loses track of which patch it's on.23:01
jbichatsimonq2: I use gbp-pq; takes a little time to learn how to use it but it's reliable https://manpages.debian.org/gbp-pq23:03
tsimonq2jbicha: TIL, thank you :)23:06
