Testing and Max OS X is appreciated.
It would be better to start with the latest.
A quick google suggests that xz should be easy to get for MacOSX,
in any case for convenience I've made it available at:
http://www.pixelbeat.org/cu/coreutils-8.21.tar.gz
which was generated using:
rel=8.21
wget -O- http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-$rel.tar.xz |
xz -dc | gzip -9 > coreutils-$rel.tar.gz
gpg --sign -ab -o coreutils-$rel.tar.gz.sig coreutils-$rel.tar.gz
thanks,
Pádraig.
