Hi guys,

A new util-linux is in [testing]. This is a bug-fix release and sorts
out all the patches we had against 2.20 as well as some regressions in
the new mountpoint implementation (full release announcement below).

Thanks to Dave for working with upstream to sort many of these things out.

Please test and sign-off both arches.

Cheers,

Tom

Subject: [ANNOUNCE] util-linux v2.20.1
To: linux-kernel at vger.kernel.org, linux-fsdevel at vger.kernel.org,
util-linux at vger.kernel.org



 The bugfix release util-linux 2.20.1 is available at

  ftp://ftp.infradead.org/pub/util-linux/v2.20/

 Feedback and bug reports, as always, are welcomed.


 Please note that infradead.org is temporary location for the upstream
 tarballs and https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux is temporary
 location for the upstream git tree. I hope that whole FTP with all
 util-linux history will be restored at kernel.org.

 For all official stuff (tags, tarballs and announces) I use a new GPG
 key (id EC39C284).
