I&#8217;m guessing that this project has i18n support out of the box, but can you please confirm? If it does maybe you should mention that as a selling point over GNU coreutils.</p> https://sylvestre.ledru.info/blog/2022/01/29/an-update-on-rust-coreutils#c29687 <p>@Bo, no, we aren&#8217;t storing them but easy to generate again yourself :)</p> https://sylvestre.ledru.info/blog/2020/06/02/debian-rebuild-with-clang-10-some-patches#c29682 <p>Is it possible to use these clang compiled packages from a gcc based Debian distribution?</p> https://sylvestre.ledru.info/blog/2020/06/02/debian-rebuild-with-clang-10-some-patches#c29681 <p>@Jorg because crates are directly shipped into the final binary. No work has been done to minimize the size.</p> <p>There are some options to do it: <a href="https://github.com/johnthagen/min-sized-rust" class="linebreak" rel="nofollow ugc">https://github.com/johnthagen/min-sized-rust</a></p> https://sylvestre.ledru.info/blog/2021/03/09/debian-running-on-rust-coreutils#c29680
