• posixutils version 2 released

  The second posixutils release has been posted at http://sourceforge.net/projects/nix-utils/ New utilities added: compress, comm, date, what, wc, renice, ipcrm, kill, rm. The posixutils package is a new implementation of the entire SUSv3 utilities list: sh, cp, mv, rm, chmod, etc. The implementation aims for a race-free (as much as possible) userland, and a clean/maintainable codebase.
