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.
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.
Pedants will be quick to point out that the original sudo is also pushover licensed, but that doesn’t change the fact that this is still a downside in the Rust version as well.
