These are the latest coreutils, v. 8.25, published by the GNU Foundation Jan.
20, 2016.
I provide them for reference, instruction and wise use only. Puppy already has
a good number of them, so please DO NOT copy the contents of this archive
indiscriminately over the files already in Puppy. If you do that, there's a good
chance that you'll put your Puppy in BIG trouble.
As an additional precaution, I have suffixed these utilities with their version number
in order that no Puppy file is squished if you copy the lot. (But don't, use
them on a case-by-case and as-needed basis.)
So, to properly use, for example, fmt ( a utility that reformats the length of lines of
a straight text file; Puppy does not have it by default), you will have to copy it to
/usr/bin and then create a link from fmt-8.25 to fmt. Or type < fmt-8.25 >.
You may however install the man files section without problem. (Linking as
explained above.) Some of you may actually find this helpful.
I provide these "core" utilities to get Puppyists to see what GNU utilities are
available. Consulting the list of these files may save you some scripting, in the
sense that your need may already be covered by one of these utilities. And of
course these utilities (among others) are the essential "second leg" of GNU/Linux
systems.
I compiled these utilities on slim-6, a puplet derived from the latest 32-bit slacko.
So there you go. Use at your own risk -- and with very great caution.
