4. Technical Description

   Update GNU coreutils to 7.4


1.  Summary

        This fasttrack is a direct follow-on to:

            PSARC/2007/048 Include GNU coreutils 6.7

        It increments the version of GNU coreutils in OpenSolaris to 7.4.

        Patch release binding is requested.


2.  Discussion

        GNU coreutils--the combination of GNU fileutils, GNU shellutils, and
        GUN textutils--provide implementations of many common Unix utilities
        as well as various enhancements and additional related utilities.

        The version proposed here is the latest stable version available
        and will replace version 6.7, which is currently in OpenSolaris.


3.  Interfaces

        PSARC/2007/048 sections 2.1 - 3.2 describe the interface details
        for the GNU coreutils 6.7 commands.  The changes between 6.7 and 
        7.4, are described in the Changes_from_6.7.txt file in the case 
        materials directory.  Each command retains the same stability level.

        Between 6.7 and 7.4, the following new commands were introduced:

        /usr/bin/
                timeout
                truncate
                       Location                     Uncommitted
                       Invocation                   Uncommitted
                       Human-readable output        Not an Interface

        /usr/gnu/bin/
                chcon                (SELinux specific - not included)
                mktemp
                runcon               (SELinux specific - not included)
                       Location                     Uncommitted
                       Invocation                   Uncommitted
                       Human-readable output        Not an Interface

       The following commands are no longer installed by default:

       /usr/gnu/bin
                hostname

       See the various man pages in the case materials directory for 
       more details.
