Heya! Just wanted to share our view on this from Cockpit’s POV. sudo-rs is not a drop-in replacement for sudo and instead is more of an alternative product that is sudo-like. It feels very weird to change a core package with something that hasn’t existed for as long as sudo has.
Cockpit currently doesn’t work in Ubuntu 25.10 due to sudo-rs not supporting --askpass. sudo-rs is also missing a lot of options at the moment which will I’m sure breaks more than just our package.
As sudo has had these features forever, this is a huge breaking change given that features are actively removed while keeping the same name. If sudo-rs is gonna be implemented, can we call it something else and keep sudo as default?
Our current solution we offer people who use Cockpit will then be to just replace sudo-rs with sudo, which isn’t ideal and is quite unnecessary. We’re taking a look at run0 too and whatever else but sudo has existed for such a long time and the features have been available since forever.
I’d love if this could be re-evaluated and maybe postponed until it reaches feature-parity.
