thanks for the packaging! Do you know any details on how they are installed? Do they use the package names and need to be aliased in the shells?

Hello! Sorry for the late notice, just saw this as I was planning to add more changes to this repo

As of 0.0.27-2 (now in Fedora and EPEL 9) there is both a multicall uutils-coreutils binary (sudo dnf install uutils-coreutils) and individual tools available via uu_* (matching their crate names)

These just wrap the multicall binary via symlinks in /usr/libexec/uutils-coreutils; if you add that directory to your path they will shadow the corresponding utilities from GNU coreutils

(I would not advise doing that yet though)

The changes I’m working on next will be enabling ACL and SELinux support, which is probably what you want at the very least before using this by default. Two more packages are needed (in review) for SELinux.

And after that, enabling the full Unix feature set. These will likely stay in COPR for a while.
