New coreutils 6.10 contains mktemp - this program is 100% compatible with BSD
version of mktemp (but it is completely different implementation). Current
maintainer of mktemp is Than Ngo (than at redhat.com) - so I want to know his
opinion -anyway IMHO it is not necessary to keep mktemp package - as the 100%
compatible version is in coreutils. Mktemp is just small utility - the only
difference I saw is in manpages - BSD mktemp has much more complex
manpages...anyway - removal of mktemp should be clarified until F9 freeze. If
current maintainer wants to keep it, I could remove mktemp from shipped
coreutils utilities and drop mktemp provide.
