I'm willing to do the work and will add it to my task list. I miss 'readlink'[1] which wasn't included in the old separate packages. > (Another issue, is that coreutils is a lot bigger, and it's kinda > annoying to download the whole bloatware lot, if you only want one > of the original pieces of it. But that's just a side issue thats > kinda optional; the main issue is handling the transition smoothly) The transition shouldn't be _that_ difficult, should it? It would simply be a matter of marking itself I with CSWgfile, CSWshutils, etc, right? Given that it's a superset of those packages... -Ben [1] Apparently a few script-ish apps also miss this too. -- Ben Walton Systems Programmer - CHASS University of Toronto C:416.407.5610 | W:416.978.4302 GPG Key Id: 8E89F6D2; Key Server: pgp.mit.edu Contact me to arrange for a CAcert assurance meeting.
