A quick look at the rewrite of coreutils with Rust and the history of NetBSD
Oh! The tests of Rust rewrite of Unix core utils (cp, ls, echo, ...) is breaking; because of a non-supported command. I was going to send a minor PR to fix that but thought its a good opportunity to show you the uutils/coreutils and talk a bit about NetBSD.
00:00 - coreutils tests are breaking on NetBSD
04:17 - NetBSD; history and running
07:17 - building & testing coreutils on NetBSD
10:45 - NetBSD 10 GUI and fixing the issue
20:01 - testing coreutils using cargo test
23:30 - sending the Pull Request (PR) to github
