lucascs@protonmail.com Lucas Couto uutils coreutils is a cross-platform reimplementation of the GNU file, text and shell utilities (ls, cp, dd, sort, head, whoami, ...) in Rust. Release 0.10.0 passes 645 of the GNU test suite cases. This package installs the prebuilt binaries published by upstream for each release instead of compiling roughly four hundred crates locally, so it needs neither a Rust toolchain nor a long build. The installed layout is identical to the from-source sys-apps/uutils-coreutils: a multicall binary at /usr/bin/uu-coreutils with one uu- prefixed symlink per applet, so nothing shadows GNU sys-apps/coreutils and the two packages block each other. amd64 and x86 use upstream's glibc build; arm64 and riscv use the statically linked musl build, which is the only one upstream provides for those architectures. A musl build resolves accounts from /etc/passwd and /etc/group alone and ignores NSS modules such as LDAP or SSSD, which matters for uu-ls -l, uu-id and uu-chown on hosts with networked accounts. The stdbuf applet is absent: it requires a helper library that the release tarballs do not carry. Build the package from source if it is needed. Install the French translations, which are shipped in the source tree rather than in the binary tarballs and therefore require fetching an extra archive. English is compiled into the binary and always available. uutils/coreutils https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/issues https://uutils.github.io/coreutils/docs/
