Hi Guys

There is a new release (5.92) of Coreutils up on ftp.gnu.org.

A quick test reveals there could be a problem with the installation of the
locales ie: they end up in / instead of /usr/share.

A quick workaround is to install like this:

  make DESTDIR=$PM_DEST datarootdir=/usr/share install

I'll investigate this further...


>From perusing the changes in this release some other things will need
investigation:


1. "uname -a no longer generates the -p and -i outputs if they are unknown"

ie: uname -a gives output like this

Linux tigers 2.6.13 #1 SMP Mon Aug 29 13:31:53 EST 2005 i686 GNU/Linux

Therefore, I might drop the current Coreutils uname hac^H^H^H patch...
maybe.


2. "Bring back support for `head -NUM', `tail -NUM', etc. even when
conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001."

This means we may be able to get rid of the current DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION
tweak. I'll look into it and test...

Regards
Greg
