One wonders how much of that is to remove copyleft
Wow, interesting thought.
I do use a few of the rust uutils notably
cp -g(progress bar)But now you make me think this change is for nefarious purposes.
I have to stop clicking on the phoronix comment section. It’s like a mini Twitter.
Still, Ubuntu should also ditch snap instead of hanging onto it just because they wrote it. It’s the reason I don’t recommend Ubuntu to friends anymore.
It’s the main reason many people avoid Ubuntu. They could achieve the same goal by shipping the Flatpak version of Firefox if they really don’t want to handle its packaging.
Not part of uutils but I’ve been using sudo-rs on all of my NixOS systems for over a year, and it’s been great.
What’s the difference from your normal
sudo?Not much, just says sudo-rs instead of sudo, and it’s memory safe. I think there might be some missing features for really advanced multi-tenant setups, but for single user machines, it’s the perfect successor to sudo.
nixos also supports giving the sudo binary a setuid flag that only allows members of the wheel group to use sudo, preventing any privilege escalation attacks from your services/servers.
Who maintains uutil? Presumably it’s not GNU?
