Sorry for the confusion with coreutils (the package / software project). When you set up a chroot environment, you want to at least copy /bin, /lib and /sbin to the new root and then remove whatever you *know* you don't need from them. Those directories should hold all programs the system needs to properly boot up. >> We no longer require external merge tools. > Starting from which version? > Latest only. It was added 2006-12-06 and the dependency on external merge program was removed in a commit created 2006-12-13. Junio merged the merge-code into master one hour later. It is not in the maint branch, so I don't know if any distributions ship git with the new xdl_merge() thing. It's *very* good though.
