Coreutils-8.14

[Matthew Burgess]

New version. Release announcement at ​http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2011-10/msg00056.html. Of particular note is the fact that they're no longer building .tar.gz files, so only .tar.xz archives are available. We'll need to add a note to our host requirements for this.

or compile xz early to be sure .xz package could be handled.

Good point. I'd forgotten we build xz-utils in chapter 5. Moving it to before Coreutils should work just fine. Thanks!

[Gilles Espinasse]

tar too may need to know about .xz handling. Or you need to split tar and xz operation like

xz -dc $(DIR_DL)/$(DL_FILE) | tar xf -

I made the choice to compile xz mostly first on toolchain and a second time before tar. That way, I could open glibc, mpfr and tar .xz packages and have no supplemental requirement on the host.

That could be a bit simplier to compile xz just once before tar with the cost of requiring non .xz packages for glibc, mpfr and tar.
