Description

Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 39-beta by Fedora user nixuser using the blocker tracking app because: Undesirable verbosity was introduced for the -v option in coreutils-9.3 on the cp command that means in copy operations used on large hierarchies where only newer files are copied, a very large amount of output is produced, such that the trail of what was actually copied is lost in the mess of messages about what was not copied. This new verbosity was moved to a debug option in coreutils-9.4 and the -v option works as per 9.2 and earlier. I am proposing to backport the fix for this from 9.4 to the 9.3 in Fedora in time for release. Thanks, your scratch build works. FEDORA-2023-b9f3783bf2 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 39. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2023-b9f3783bf2 FEDORA-2023-b9f3783bf2 has been pushed to the Fedora 39 testing repository. Soon you'll be able to install the update with the following command: `sudo dnf upgrade --enablerepo=updates-testing --refresh --advisory=FEDORA-2023-b9f3783bf2` You can provide feedback for this update here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2023-b9f3783bf2 See also https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Updates_Testing for more information on how to test updates. Freeze Exception discussion ticket: https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review/issue/1239 Discussed during the 2023-09-04 blocker review meeting: [1] The decision to classify this bug as a AcceptedFreezeException (Beta) was made: "The benefit here isn't huge (getting the new/old behaviour during live sessions and at first boot, not just on first update) but the risk is also small and we're feeling generous, so...fine."
