      Description: GNU File, Shell, and Text utilities

      Long Description: The GNU Core Utilities are the basic file, shell, and text manipulation utilities of the GNU operating system. These are the core utilities which are expected to exist on every operating system. 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 the coreutils.

      ---> Verifying checksum for coreutils
      ---> Extracting coreutils
      ---> Configuring coreutils
      ---> Building coreutils with target all
      ---> Staging coreutils into destroot
      ---> Installing coreutils
    - Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using coreutils with these commands:
