2026-10-10: coreutils-9.12-1 (GNU flavoured basic commands)
The GNU Core Utilities are the basic file, shell and text manipulation
utilities of the GNU operating system. These are the core utilities
which are expected to exist on every operating system.
Previously these utilities were offered as three individual sets of
GNU utilities, fileutils, shellutils, and textutils. Those three have
been combined into a single set of utilities called the coreutils.
The commands are named with 'g' prefix like 'gls' or 'gcp'. If you want
to use them as 'ls' or 'cp', add %p/lib/coreutils/bin to your PATH
or install the coreutils-default package.
As the exception, the 'rm' command is named as 'rm.gnu' instead of 'grm'
because the cwp-su package has another 'grm'.

coreutils: 9.122026-10-06: python37-3.7.17-3 (Interpreted, object-oriented language)
Python is often compared to Tcl, Perl, Scheme or Java.
This package installs unix python - not the OSX Framework version.
Builds a two-level namespace dynamic libpython (needed for koffice).
The interpreter is installed as "python%type_raw[python]", and all associated
commands are similarly named with the python-version in them. To get
the simple "python3" command, install the fink package "python3" (note:
the "python3" command there is not guaranteed to be python%type_raw[python]!).
