Package: busybox Version: 1:1.35.0-4+b3 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Hi,
BusyBox can provide a simple version of "install" command (https://busybox.net/downloads/BusyBox.html#install). Unfortunately, in the package configuration, the options responsible for enabling this applet are not set: # CONFIG_INSTALL is not set # CONFIG_FEATURE_INSTALL_LONG_OPTIONS is not set (for all 3 packages - regular, static and udeb) This is a quite frequently used command that is part of coreutils, so it is worth making it available in the minimal environment provided by BusyBox. Simple patch (for regular package) attached.
