  1. Symlink to /usr/local/bin is safer than this.
  2. Supports -git and -selinux.

Building same binary avaiable from repo and symlink only pkg is not allowed at AUR. Don't believe that this is avaiable until officlal drop-in appear.

On https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=coreutils-uutils#n77

  # additional cleanup
  rm $pkgdir/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/*

Why deleting ALL completions??

@dtomvan @blackout:

thank you very much for flagging for 0.1.0 release. PKGBUILD has been updated.

@oech3:

uu_stty crate

I'll look into this. This package was originally derived from the old coreutils-hybrid so a re-write/clean-up of the PKGBUILD is definitely due soon. I'll keep your suggestions in mind.

manpages

I do think manpages ship with the uutils-coreutils package so I think you can just symlink the manpages in your coreutils-uutils-symlink PKGBUILD (if you haven't already done so).

EDIT: formatting changes

@oech3 sorry, just caught up with your comments on this package build.

RE: usage of symlinks

I see that you've already made a coreutils-uutils-symlink package build, which is great! I'll probably keep this package "as is" for now, since it also builds the manpages and necessary libraries like libstdbuf.so, which ships with coreutils on Arch.

I do think your PKGBUILD is a great alternative.

I'll also wait on the resolution of #1 and the issue you posted, #2 on the uutils-coreutils GitLab and see how the official maintainers would like to move forward.

RE: variable naming and nix-busybox stty

Thanks for that heads-up on the var names. When I get the free time, I'll rename the variables in the PKGBUILD to be in-line with AUR best practices.

The GNU version of stty, chcon, and runcon are already being built in this package. If nix-busybox completes the selinux set including chcon and runcon, I'll consider moving over to using the nix-busybox package for the missing utils instead.

Thanks @oech3
