coreutils (core GNU utilities)

These are the GNU core utilities, the basic command line programs
such as 'mkdir', 'ls', and 'rm' that are needed for the system to
run.  This package is the union of the GNU fileutils, sh-utils, and
textutils packages.  Most of these programs have significant
advantages over their Unix counterparts, such as greater speed,
additional options, and fewer arbitrary limits.
Slackware base for pkgsrc - initial import. These packages are based on slackware-current binaries. slackware_base and its dependencies need some non-standard stuff (in terms of wip/mk/linuxbin.pkg.mk) to install - basically, they handle their installation stuff on their own. slackware_gcc and slackware_tcsh are included as an example "extra" packages for Slackware base - they are not needed for basic functionality, but as bin/cp, bin/sh and other utilities are installed by the time slackware_tcsh or slackware_gcc is installed, they can handle their installation only via wip/mk/linuxbin.pkg.mk and nothing else 2004-03-12 13:42:34 +01:00			`coreutils (core GNU utilities)`
