To do a systemwide replacement of gnu utils with uutils you can use system.replaceDependencies. It should be noted that the name of the dependency is hardcoded in the binaries, therefore the name of the replacing dependency needs to have exactly the same length as the name of the source dependency. To do this declaratively this snippet should be added to your configs: | To do a systemwide replacement of gnu utils with uutils you can use system.replaceDependencies.
