Here's a snapshot of the latest from coreutils, with some new bits pulled in via gnulib, too.
I expect to make one more snapshot in the next 2 days, and then something we'll call a stable coreutils-7.1 release. coreutils snapshot: http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-ss.tar.gz 9.2 MB http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-ss.tar.xz 4.0 MB http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-ss.tar.gz.sig http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-ss.tar.xz.sig aka http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-7.0.188-0e40e.tar.gz http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-7.0.188-0e40e.tar.xz Here are summaries since the 7.0.171-0dc44 snapshot.
