Description David Bryson (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-03-01 12:15:24 UTC
the busybox ebuild should make application links if desired.  Specifically if embedded systems are to be designed around this.  Once can also do something like 'busybox -s init' or somesuch that solar told me...
anyway... I was thinking an addtional use variable(yes I'm use variable crazy) called 'links' that would do the following 

        if [ "`use links`" == "" ]; then
                for i in `cat busybox.links`
                  do
                  dosym /bin/busybox $i
                done
        fi

From the metadata base-system looks like its the maintainer of this package.

i'll add this but i'll also put in a sanity check to make sure that none of the links created exist in ${ROOT} already

all we need is some guy hosing his system and then us hearing about it :P
