@drq Also wondered about the size of it as Rust means static linking and… yeah even with explicitly aiming for coreutils compatibility, you get a pretty small install size.
- https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/uutils-coreutils/ ~10MB
- https://archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/coreutils/ ~15MB
- https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/package/edge/community/x86_64/uutils-coreutils ~4MB
- https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/package/edge/main/x86_64/coreutils ~1MB (multicall saves a lot, GNU should really end up making gnulib an actual library)
For reference here the install size of coreutils on gentoo-musl:
- USE="multicall nls xattr -*" ⇒ 6.20MiB
- USE="multicall nls static xattr -*" ⇒ 7.35MiB
- USE="nls static xattr -*" ⇒ 56.41MiB
- USE="nls xattr -*" ⇒ 25.36MiB
