pkgsrc-wip/slackware_coreutils/DESCR
Michal Pasternak 9833990a19 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

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.
