Subject: [PATCH] ver_linux: Reference coreutils instead of sh-utils.
Date: Fri, 15 Aug 2025 19:17:19 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <9ecf7c579454d89c73b8d2c29d13ddb1768079da.1755310602.git.collin.funk1@gmail.com> (raw)

The Fileutils, Shellutils, and Textutils packages were combined to
create GNU Coreutils which had its first major release in 2003 [1]. It
is unlikely that someone is using Shellutils today, and likely that many
do not remember what the Shellutils package is.
