s6-linux-utils is discussed on the +skaware mailing-list.

+ +

Similar work

+ +

+ There are several good projects aiming to provide a minimal userspace +environment for Linux, suitable for embedded systems. Among them, for +instance: +

+ +

BusyBox
toybox

+ +

+ Most of the time, these projects aim to implement standard commands in a +lightweight way, and +they do it well enough. So, although some standard reimplentation already +exists in s6-linux-utils and its sibling package +s6-portable-utils, +it is an explicit non-goal of those packages to duplicate the work of those +projects, and no more rewriting of standard commands will occur. +
