OK, it's finally finally up. currently #gcc , #coreutils , plus some support libraries, as a proof of concept. For those who don't know, FractalKit is an in-progress collection of modern packages built for #Solaris 10 #SPARC, and they may work on #Solaris 11 also. They can be downloaded at https://highenergymagic.net/fractalkit/ - please let us know if there are any bugs, issues, what have you.

GNU Coreutils bald abgelöst? Rust Coreutils 0.1 steigern Kompatibilität

Rust Coreutils “uutils” v0.1 released!

The developers behind the Rust coreutils, called uutils, has reached a major milestone with the release of v0.1.0. This comes after the last release, which was v0.0.30. This version is now on GitHub, which you can check out below.

This version of uutils contains many interesting changes done to the system utilities, including cp, ls, and others. The SELinux support has been added to cp, ls, mkdir, mknod, mkfifo, install, and stat for systems that are security oriented. This makes sure that systems with this coreutils implementation can now enjoy better security with SELinux enabled, especially when SELinux is enforcing.

In addition to that, the speed has been improved to match and possibly exceed the legacy GNU coreutils performance. You can now notice the improved speed in commands like cat, ls, wc, tail, seq, and more.

Thanks to many commits and contributions done to the Rust coreutils project, it has witnessed many changes done to various commands, such as date allowing negative date offsets, echo allowing double hyphens, and print fixing octal escape parsing.

In addition to that, the test suite compatibility has seen increasing number of successes. While 0.0.30 has 507 passes; 41 skips; and 69 fails, version 0.1.0 has 522 passes; 31 skips; and 65 passes.

As a result, as future versions get released, compatibility with the older GNU coreutils increases. This is evidenced by the increasing number of succeeding unit tests for the Rust coreutils project, especially when it comes to SELinux-related tests.

You can consult the official website of Rust coreutils below.

What about Ubuntu?

Ubuntu is planning to ship uutils to replace the older GNU coreutils as part of the broader plan, called “Oxidizing Ubuntu.” Ubuntu 25.10 will be the first version of Ubuntu that will use this coreutils implementation to ensure that your Ubuntu system becomes both more secure and quicker; furthermore, your productivity will increase as the improved performance becomes prevalent in this release.

Ubuntu 25.10 Questing Quokka will use the Rust coreutils during the development cycle, along with the Rust implementation of sudo called rs-sudo. In later development milestones, Ubuntu will use the findutils and the diffutils projects from the master uutils project.

You will be able to download the stable release of this Ubuntu version on October 9th, 2025.

Ubuntu decided to swap out their perfectly functional GNU #Coreutils for #Rust #Uutils in 25.10, because who needs reliability when you can have shiny new bugs? 🐛🚀 The plan is to translate the whole system into Rust, presumably to convert all existing problems into memory-safe rustacean nightmares. 🙃

Ubuntu 25.10 Replaces GNU Coreutils with Rust Uutils

#HackerNews #Ubuntu #Rust #Uutils #GNU #Coreutils #Tech #News #Linux

Hi guys! I am concerned about the potential #Ubuntu switch (from 25.10) to Rust #coreutils, due to its different non-GPL license. If that happens, I'd plan to distro hop to #Debian within the next Ubuntu LTS upgrade (around August 2026).

I already use RaspiOs (Debian-based) in my personal Raspberry home server and in a very old 32-bit netbook.

Do you think switching to Debian is the best move for me?

Porady Admina: date. Dzisiejszy wpis z serii Porady Admina postanowiłem poświęcić poleceniu date. https://linuxiarze.pl/porady-admina-coreutils-date/ #linux #coreutils

Prefiero la GPL a la MIT, pero si #uutils supera a #coreutils en seguridad, merece la pena considerarlo. Siempre podemos aplicarle una GPL si llega a ser necesario.

Muchos componentes clave o superutilizados como Xorg, Wayland, Vim y Neovim también usan MIT o Apache.

Relajaos, el #SoftwareLibre está fuerte. Y vamos a dar mucha guerra, de la buena.
