@miek While people should avoid C, people think rewrites in rust, rather than their progressive ports, are a better idea, lmfao.
IMHO in-place ports help avoid these issues. @federicomena has been a hero here, his work on librsvg and blog posts about it have been inspirational.
The uutils stuff was never going to go that way because AIUI those people are against copyleft and powerful people always want to remove GPLv3 from anywhere they can so that users have fewer rights to their own devices.
@purpleidea @federicomena @miek in front of a computer now. Just checked: it's systemd. If you kill the process before submitting the typed password:
$ systemctl daemon-reload
==== AUTHENTICATING FOR org.freedesktop.systemd1.reload-daemon ====
Authentication is required to reload the systemd state.
Authenticating as: Jonathan Dowland,,, (jon)
Password: Terminated
$ the password I wrote but did not submit is echoed here

@jmtd @miek @federicomena I believe what you are seeing is policy kit, not systemd. It's just systemd that's triggering it. I am not the expert here.
