[dasJ]

Description of changes

Announcement and changelog: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2024-03/msg00006.html

Things that are worth mentioning:

• cp --no-clobber, and mv -n no longer exit with failure status if existing files are encountered in the destination
• chgrp now accepts the --from=OWNER:GROUP option to restrict changes to files with matching current OWNER and/or GROUP, as already supported by chown(1).
• cp,mv,install,cat,split now read and write a minimum of 256KiB at a time. This was previously 128KiB and increasing to 256KiB was seen to increase throughput by 10-20% when reading cached files on modern systems.

I rebuilt my NixOS x86_64 staging-next machines with this PR and didn't encounter issues.

Is there a reason this hasn't been merged?

[LeSuisse]

I'm not aware of a specific reason, anyway I have also been able able to rebuild one of my Linux x86_64 box with this change with no issue so let's merge.

A test got broken with musl?

../build-aux/test-driver: line 112: 111212 Aborted                 (core dumped) "$@" >> "$log_file" 2>&1
FAIL: test-canonicalize

[LeSuisse]

I confirm the issue, I thought I had built that before merging 🤔

Anyway it is a known upstream bug, see #304856
