PKGLOCALEDIR and which install their locale files directly under
${PREFIX}/${PKGLOCALEDIR} and sort the PLIST file entries. From now
on, pkgsrc/mk/plist/plist-locale.awk will automatically handle
transforming the PLIST to refer to the correct locale directory.
* Add check for sync(2) and setgroups(3), and don't use these if they
don't exist on the host.
* Interix has a ... Special ... way of doing the "su" thing.
* Implement Interix-specific portion of mountlist.c.
many fixes/new features, among them:
- nohup now always exits with status 127 when it finds an error,
as POSIX requires; formerly it sometimes exited with status 1.
- Several programs (including cut, date, dd, env, hostname, nl, pr,
stty, and tr) now always exit with status 1 when they find an error;
formerly they sometimes exited with status 2.
- chgrp and chown now accept POSIX-mandated -L, -H, and -P options
- du now accepts -P (--no-dereference), for compatibility with du
of NetBSD and for consistency with e.g., chown and chgrp
- date accepts a new option --rfc-2822, an alias for --rfc-822.
- `sha1sum --check' now accepts the BSD format for SHA1 message digests
in addition to the BSD format for MD5 ones.
- md5sum --check now accepts the output of the BSD md5sum program, e.g.,
MD5 (f) = d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e
- date -d DATE can now parse a DATE string like May-23-2003
- chown: `.' is no longer recognized as a separator in the OWNER:GROUP
specifier on POSIX 1003.1-2001 systems. If chown *was not* compiled
on such a system, then it still accepts `.', by default. If chown
was compiled on a POSIX 1003.1-2001 system, then you may enable the
old behavior by setting _POSIX2_VERSION=199209 in your environment.

The GNU Core Utilities are the basic file, shell and text manipulation
utilities of the GNU operating system. These are the core utilities which
are expected to exist on every operating system.
Previously these utilities were offered as three individual sets of GNU
utilities, fileutils, shellutils, and textutils. Those three have been
combined into a single set of utilities called the coreutils.
