One of the risk of this package is its build process "unsynced" with uutils-coreutils.
[Edit] I reduced risk of "unsynced" build by adding depends=(uutils-coreutils=$pkgver) and letting build failure if /usr/bin/uu-coreutils was renamed.
@kpcyrd Please feedback if you have more idea to reduce risks of this pkg (except for improving compatibility itself).
PATH is not enough if user wants to replace bins with hardcoated path.
You likely want to monitor https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/issues/8029 closely to avoid your system breaking.
Q. Why is this exists and cannot we convert coreutils-uutils to pre-symlinks ?
libstdbuf.so (unused yet).stty is missing man pages (solved at next release of uutils).I hope to remove/merge this package if possible.
You can partially swap coreutils by mkdir uu;for f in $(uu-coreutils --list);do;ln -s uu-coreutils uu/$f;done;export PATH="uu:$PATH". Overlayfs also swaps them without removing coreutils.
Try them unless you also wants to swap bins called with hardcoated path at boot process.
{ch,run}con (SELinux bins) are not existing.stty until next release of uutils.bash completion for GNU coreutils yet.
