Subject: [PATCH 1/2] coreutils: kill and uptime are no longer installed
Date: Thu, 19 Feb 2026 14:12:19 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260219191220.460166-1-Randy.MacLeod@windriver.com> (raw)
From: Randy MacLeod <Randy.MacLeod@windriver.com>
In coreutils-9.10, as explained in:
6b399ad35 build: kill(1), uptime(1): don't install by default
* build-aux/gen-lists-of-programs.sh: kill and uptime are not installed
by arch, debian, fedora, suse at least, so add to disabled list.
Fixes https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/issues/132
Note that in oe-core:
kill is provided by busybox, procps and util-linux
uptime is provided by busybox and procps
and in other layers there may be other providers of these commands.
