Here's one mirror. Please tell me if you know of others. ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/gnu/alpha/gnu/textutils/textutils-2.0.17.tar.gz ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/gnu/alpha/gnu/textutils/textutils-2.0.17.tar.bz2 This is mainly a bug-fixing release. It might be close to 2.1. Here are most of the user-visible changes between 2.0.16 and 2.0.17: * csplit no longer gets a failed assertion for this: printf 'a\n\n'|csplit - '/^$/' 2 * sort detects physical memory attributes more portably * tail no longer gets a segfault on Linux's /proc/ksyms * sum -s produces the proper 16-bit checksum for large files (this fixes a bug that was introduced in 2.0f) * uniq is now about 3 times faster than the version from 2.0 on Linux systems; the code uses lock-avoiding variants of common I/O functions See the ChangeLog files for details and credits. -------- Thanks to Bob Proulx, there is now a FAQ for the fileutils, textutils, and sh-utils: http://www.gnu.org/software/fileutils/doc/faq/core-utils-faq.html -------- Here are the MD5 and SHA1 signatures for the compressed tar files: 98e8c5440bffe9af3b9d860d2bb0cb37 textutils-2.0.17.tar.gz d65c85079b52d82abdb7de997cc8af84 textutils-2.0.17.tar.bz2 c345907718d0ef8712dcc3f6fd70bd9615b37a84 textutils-2.0.17.tar.gz d0ff68f01a60da37b475beb6a9849316adfc4bc6 textutils-2.0.17.tar.bz2 You can use the md5sum or sha1sum programs from this package to verify these numbers. _______________________________________________ Bug-textutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-textutils
