Hej there. I am eagerly anticipating advances in stali, and since updates are scarce I started to investigate in different matters of this kind and started to play with my humble attempt to create such a distro myself, just for fun. I read that the userland of stali is OpenBSD derived, I took the OBSD userland and made some analysis.
Comparing these things to the GNU core utilities this is what can be found in OBSD: arch basename cat chmod chroot comm cp csplit cut date dd df dirname du echo env expand expr false fmt fold head id join ln logname ls mkdir mknod mktemp mv nice nohup paste pr printenv printf pwd readlink rm rmdir sleep sort split stat stty su sync tail tee test touch tr true tsort tty uname unexpand uniq users wc who yes And this is what is missing in OBSD: base64 chcon chgrp chown cksum dir dircolors factor groups hostid install link md5sum mkfifo nl od pathchk pinky ptx runcon seq sha1sum shred shuf sorted sum tac timeout truncate unlink uptime vdir whoami There is some redundancy involved, e.g. mkfifo vs. mknod FILE q; arch vs. uname -m, etc. If we assume awk, sed, and grep to be present, head, nl, etc. could be omitted as well. My question is, what would you omit and why? For those who are missing in OBSD but should be added, I thought about rewriting those tools OBSD style, is this a good idea? regards and thank you for your time, Thomas
