coreutils-9.3 brought changes to the behavior of the -v option which
broke some of my automation scripts.
Because of this I have been blocking updates to coreutils in Rawhide and
Fedora 39. and I'm running coreutils-9.2-4.fc39.x86_64.
This change in the -v option has been reverted in 9.4 (released
2023-08-29). From [1]:
** Changes in behavior
'cp -v' and 'mv -v' will no longer output a message for each file
skipped
due to -i, or -u. Instead they only output this information with
--debug.
I.e., 'cp -u -v' etc. will have the same verbosity as before
coreutils-9.3.
If it's too late to get 9.4 into 39, is it possible to locally include
this specific reverting patch?
