GNU cp

Hi,

Is there a package providing GNU cp? I can't find one, which is strange given that I found mv, ls, etc. in coreutils-*.

Thanks.

From http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/

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 Coreutils.

(Also, it is usually a 'built-in' command of your shell.)

Then what?

"usually"? In a "raw" Slitaz cp, like many other tools, is a link to busybox. I found GNU versions of nearly all tools but not of cp, hence my question. Also, the default shell is bash, which has no cp builtin.

Re: GNU cp

Take a look through man bash for builtin commands.

(Yes SliTaz uses busybox for its base utilities)

Re: GNU cp

@Pascal: great news, thanks! Will this change make its way to the 4.0 repository?

@fatmac: as I stated previously, bash has no cp builtin (there are no file util builtins in fact).
