Subject: [gentoo-dev] removing debianutils from profiles

1 since coreutils provides 'readlink' now, do we still need debianutils ? the
2 files it currently provides are:
3 /bin/tempfile
4 /bin/mktemp
5 /bin/run-parts
6 /usr/sbin/savelog
7 /usr/sbin/mkboot
8 /sbin/installkernel
9 i know we used 'readlink' in portage and in baselayout, but since coreutils
10 takes care of that, why not punt this pkg ?
11 only thing i can think of is maybe 'tempfile' and 'mktemp' are used, but i
12 could always put together some small bashscripts to add to baselayout to take
13 care of those ...
