#coreutils

0 message0 participant0 message aujourd’hui

So the new #coreutils #uutils are now developed on a proprietary and exclusive platform. And I don't get it.

Rewrite it in #Rust, ok. Emancipate from #GNU and #Stallmann, ok. I get it.

But why on Earth put it in a walled garden, drag more users and contributors into a walled garden, and expand dependencies on Big Tech even for the base of #Linux systems? Why can't we have people who are both technically skilled *and* conceive basic freedoms and digital independence?

#GNU #coreutils 9.6 is out:

savannah.gnu.org/news/?id=1071

A few highlights:

* cksum -a now supports the "crc32b" option

* ls now supports the --sort=name option

* printf now supports indexed arguments

* test supports the POSIX:2024 specified '<' and '>' operators with strings

* cksum -a crc, makes use of AVX2, AVX512, and ARMv8 SIMD extensions

* wc now reads a minimum of 256KiB at a time […] was seen to increase wc -l performance by about 10% when reading cached files on modern systems.

It's ridiculous clickbait anyway, on the order of those "1 simple trick" articles, and as they do providing pretty much zero useful information.

For starters: GNU coreutils's "rm" has a check for the root directory, and has had for about 21 years; the default being to fail the command given in the article for about 18 years.

Super UserIs it possible to remove the root directory?I noticed in the documentation for rm as obtained by rm --help the following flag: --no-preserve-root do not treat `/' specially What does this mean? Is it actually possible to delete the root
