2010s: dateutils is distributed as a small command-line suite with upstream releases. - 2014: The official homepage lists multiple distro and BSD package entries. - 2020s: The GitHub repository remains the primary upstream source listed by the project. ### Related projects - The tools are conceptually adjacent to Unix `date`, `seq`, `grep`, `sort`, and the C library `strptime` function. ### Sources - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. -
