FreeBSD sysutils : coreutils

The Free Software Foundation's core utilities

 The Free Software Foundation's core utilities:

  basename, cat, chgrp, chmod, chown, chroot, cksum, comm, cp, csplit,
  cut, date, dd, df, dir, dircolors, dirname, du, echo, env, expand, expr,
  factor, false, fmt, fold, groups, head, hostid, hostname, id, install,
  join, kill, link, ln, logname, ls, md5sum, mkdir, mkfifo, mknod, mv, nice,
  nl, nohup, od, paste, pathchk, pinky, pr, printenv, printf, ptx, pwd,
  readlink, rm, rmdir, seq, sha1sum, shred, sleep, sort, split, stat, stty,
  su, sum, sync, tac, tail, tee, test, touch, tr, true, tsort, tty, uname,
  unexpand, uniq, unlink, uptime, users, vdir, wc, who, whoami, yes

Similar utilities to most of these exist in the FreeBSD base system,
but many of the GNU versions have added functionality that is
useful.

Note that this port will install these utilities with a `g' prefix,
for example gdate, gexpr, and gtest, but the texinfo documentation
will refer to them without the `g' prefix.

GNU su does not support a wheel group.  This port installs it
without the suid bit, unless you define WITH_SUID while building. 

coreutils history

v. 1.17
date: 2007/07/23 09:36:34;  author: rafan;  state: Exp;  lines: +1 -1
- Set --mandir and --infodir in CONFIGURE_ARGS if the configure script
  supports them.  This is determined by running ``configure --help'' in
  do-configure target and set the shell variable _LATE_CONFIGURE_ARGS
  which is then passed to CONFIGURE_ARGS.
- Remove --mandir and --infodir in ports' Makefile where applicable
  Few ports use REINPLACE_CMD to achieve the same effect, remove them too.
- Correct some manual pages location from PREFIX/man to MANPREFIX/man
- Define INFO_PATH where necessary
- Document that .info files are installed in a subdirectory relative to
  PREFIX/INFO_PATH and slightly change add-plist-info to use INFO_PATH and
  subdirectory detection.

v. 1.13

Remove USE_GPG from all effected ports. This knob is a no-op and the way it
was supposed to work is useless, because if we can't trust the distfile from
the remote machine, we can't trust the signature from the same machine either.
Our MD5 and SHA256 are good for checking both the sanity and the
trustiness of distfiles.
