Isn't POSIX userspace mostly standardized? We should be pretty conservative with what goes into such a standard, but something like age and jq IMO meet that level of utility to justify it.
- jjice 2y agoYeah POSIX standardizes a bunch of tools, mostly the ones you'd expect (cut, cat, file, etc). I agree with the conservative standardization for the most part, but I selfishly would love these more niche tools to be available on a fresh box. Good point though, I just want to be a little lazier in my script writing I guess :) I've always used this site as reference: https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/ https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/
- packetlost 2y agoI guess distros are the next layer over POSIX standard. Distributions have the ability to, mostly arbitrarily, select the default packages they ship in their releases.
