Only downside is the MIT license, but they are doing good work. Glad they started the project. It also makes it easier to integrate onto other operating systems thanks to the rust toolchain.

They’re absolutely right about the packaging for many distros needing work - I’ve been using sudo-rs as a replacement for sudo on arch for a long time now and it’s been great, except for the install. Installing this and removing the original sudo was a pain in the ass and requires installing the original sudo first to get the default configs. If this changed, I think a lot more people would try it and adoption would benefit a lot.

My only problem with sudo-rs is that unlike the other rust rewrites. Compatibility isn’t a goal. I use the -E flag for some very specific programs and trying to manually pass in a bunch of different variables from my user environment has proven both tedious and in some cases doing so still results in programs not launching as I don’t know exactly which variable it needs.
