Scoop sfsu¶

sfsu (Scoop For Speed and Usability) is a Rust reimplementation of Scoop’s slower read paths, working against the same buckets and ~/scoop install tree.

mpm reaches for sfsu only where it is both faster than Scoop and speaks JSON: installed, outdated and search all pass --json and are parsed as structured objects instead of the whitespace tables Scoop prints.

Note

sfsu implements no mutating verbs, so install, remove and both upgrade commands are bound straight to Scoop through the Delegate descriptor: those operations run the scoop binary, and a host with sfsu but no Scoop cannot mutate anything.

Version requirement: >=1.16.0

Platforms¶

🪟 Windows

Operations¶

Operation	Supported	Notes
`installed`	✓
`outdated`	✓
`search`	✓	exact and extended search backfilled by `mpm`
`install`	✓
`upgrade`	✓
`upgrade_all`	✓
`remove`	✓
`sync`	✓
`cleanup`	✓

Ecosystem¶

Accepted purl types: pkg:sfsu

Usage¶

$ mpm --sfsu installed
$ mpm --sfsu search "query"
$ mpm --sfsu upgrade --all
$ mpm install pkg:sfsu/hello
$ mpm --dry-run --sfsu upgrade --all

Every example above accepts --dry-run, which simulates the underlying manager calls without touching the system: the safe way to watch what mpm would do before trusting it.

Deselect the manager for a single run with --no-sfsu, disable it from your configuration, or tune its invocation attributes with per-manager overrides.

Command line¶

CLI names, in lookup order: sfsu
Arguments forced after each call: --no-color

The version is probed by running:

$ sfsu --version
sfsu 1.17.2
sprinkles 0.22.0 (crates.io published version)

and extracted with:

r"sfsu\s+(?P<version>\S+)"

Privilege escalation¶

mpm runs this manager as the current user and never prepends sudo by default. Flip the policy for its privileged operations with --sudo or the per-manager sudo override.

See privilege escalation for the full policy.

Cooldown¶

State of Scoop sfsu’s release-age gating, from the cooldown support table:

Status: 🚧 Inherits from scoop

With --cooldown set, mpm skips this manager’s install and upgrade operations rather than run them unguarded (fail-closed); --allow-unsupported-managers opts back in.

Reference traces¶

Raw native outputs captured in the manager source: the reference mpm’s parsers were written against. If you know Scoop sfsu well and a transcript below looks wrong, or a newer release changed its output format, report it.
