coreutils (8.23-1) unstable; urgency=low
GNU coreutils package now includes the `realpath' command that used to
be found in a separate `realpath' package.
Even though the GNU version provides all the features of the old Debian
version, the behaviour is a bit different, namely:
* GNU `realpath' and `realpath -s' commands require all but the
last path components to exist
whereas:
* Debian version of `realpath' required all the path components to exist;
* Debian version of `realpath -s' required no path components to exist.
To get the old behaviour in GNU `realpath' an additional option needs
to be used:
Old Debian realpath New GNU coreutils realpath
----------------------- ----------------------------
realpath file(s) => realpath -e file(s)
realpath -s file(s) => realpath -s -m file(s)

coreutils (5.96-3) unstable; urgency=low
* The POSIX compatibility level is now set to POSIX 1003.1-2001,
which affects the syntax for several commands. For transition
purposes, "sort +number" and "tail +number" will be supported
for the etch release. Note that these usages are deprecated, and
will be removed in etch+1; the recommended usage is "sort -k number"
and "tail -n +number". Also, "uniq +number" should be replaced with
"uniq -s number" and "touch number filename" should be replaced with
"touch -t number filename". To revert to the older syntax, set the
environment variable _POSIX2_VERSION to "199209".
