Subject: [PATCH 0/2] gnu: Add chimerautils.
Date: Sun, 12 Jan 2025 10:12:05 +0100

From: Sören Tempel <soeren <at> soeren-tempel.net>

This patchseries adds a package for chimerautils, the FreeBSD-based
Linux userland from Chimera Linux [1].  This userland can be used as
an alternative to coreutils/util-linux/findutils/... within a user's
profile.  In that sense, it is similar to existing packages such as
sbase or BusyBox.

It requires packaging libxo, which is not packaged so far.  Further,
I backported a patch which fixes compatibility of Chimera's find(1)
implementation with GNU getopt(3).

Sören Tempel (2):
  gnu: Add libxo.
  gnu: Add chimerautils.

+
+By default, GNU getopt(3) will continue parsing options after the
+first nonoption. This behavior is incompatible with this find(1)
+implementation, causing parts of the expression to be parsed as
+(invalid) options.
+
+The behavior can be disabled by prefixing the option string with
+a `+` character. Other applets, such as flock or mcookie do it
+already so it would be cool to do this here too to make find(1)
+compatible with glibc.
