Use uutils-coreutils instead of aardvark_shell_utils

Open Atry opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

uutils-coreutils is a new alternative to GNU's coreutils. It is better maintained than aardvark_shell_utils. Similar to aardvark_shell_utils, uutils-coreutils does not conflict with md5sha1sum.

I think we should be trying for GNU coreutils first, then investigate alternatives:

  • it's the defacto standard
  • uutils is v0.0.12 - it has not yet had a stable release
  • it reduces the difference between our mac and linux environments, likely decreasing the amount of portability issues we have in the long term
