A Freshmeat announcement archived in Google Groups describes version 0.1 as an initial but usable release and lists the early tool set: average, bound, numgrep, numprocess, numsum, random, range, and round. A later section in the same archive describes version 0.5 with interval added. ### Adoptionsgeschichte num-utils found its way into traditional operating-system package collections rather than becoming a high-velocity upstream. Debian sid packages num-utils 0.5-15 in the math section and lists utilities such as numaverage, numbound, numinterval, numnormalize, numgrep, numprocess, numsum, numrandom, numrange, and numround. Homebrew also packages version 0.5, but its visible analytics on July 1, 2026 were only 62 installs over 365 days. That fits the package's role: old, useful, low-glamour command-line glue. ### Wie es verwendet wird The core usage pattern is piping numbers through tiny filters: sum a column with `numsum`, select numbers with `numgrep`, find min/max boundaries with `bound`, normalize a series with `normalize`, round values, generate ranges, or apply arithmetic through `numprocess`. Package nerds notice num-utils because it fills a gap between one-off `awk` snippets and heavier tools such as datamash or spreadsheet/statistical environments. It is especially legible in shell pipelines where each operation deserves a named command. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren num-utils is not widely fashionable, but it is a classic example of Unix philosophy packaging: one small numeric operation per executable, text streams in and text streams out, distributed through distro package managers long after upstream slowed down. ### Zeitleiste - 2004-11-18/19: Freshmeat archive records num-utils 0.5 and upstream page records the November 19, 2004 release note. - 2026-07-01: Debian sid packaged num-utils 0.5-15; Homebrew formula showed stable 0.5. ### Related projects - GNU coreutils - awk - datamash - bc - dc ### Quellen - - - - - ## Sicherheitshinweise narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger-Risiko:** grün / niedrig - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Andere Paketmanager-Einträge - Debian apt - num-utils - 0.5-15: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: num-utils from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | programs for dealing with numbers from the command line | https://suso.suso.org/xulu/Num-utils - Nix - num-utils: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/nu/num-utils/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - Ubuntu apt - num-utils - 0.5-15: normalized package name match | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS package indexes: num-utils from https://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | programs for dealing with numbers from the command line | https://suso.suso.org/xulu/Num-utils - MacPorts - num-utils: normalized package name match | MacPorts ports tree: sysutils/num-utils/Portfile from https://api.github.com/repos/macports/macports-ports/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - Nix - round: installed executable or alias match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/ro/round/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
