Bug 83716 – support for changing busybox.config and having new applications linked in initrd

• Status: RESOLVED REMIND
• Product: Gentoo Hosted Projects

[Description David Bryson (RETIRED) 2005-03-01 13:14:20 UTC]

genkernel has a staticly defined list of busybox applications it links no matter what the compiled applications are.  A list of the compiled applications is produced at the end of the busybox build-cycle.  This patch adds support for using this list to create the symlinks present on the initrd.  This way, every compilation of busybox can have all the proper symlinks created.

Reproducible: Always

Created attachment 52409 [details, diff]
adds support for busybox.links in genkernel

should apply cleanly to cvs

there is a bug currently when initrd-modules are enabled
for some reason modprobe overwrites the busybox executable, and I'm not sure why.  As soon as I fix it I'll post an updated patch.
