«This package provides utilities which have become synonymous with Linux to many - the likes of ls, cp, and mv. In recent years, there has been an effort 93 to reimplement this suite of tools in Rust, with the goal of reaching 100% compatibility with the existing tools. Similar projects, like sudo-rs 84, aim to replace key security-critical utilities with more modern, memory-safe alternatives.
Starting with Ubuntu 25.10, my goal is to adopt some of these modern implementations as the default. My immediate goal is to make uutils’ coreutils implementation the default in Ubuntu 25.10, and subsequently in our next Long Term Support (LTS) release, Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, if the conditions are right.»
