[Vladimir Serbinenko]

Update of bug #38894 (project grub):

  Status:None => Wont Fix   
 Open/Closed:Open => Closed 

___

Follow-up Comment #1:

We don't import non-GNU code when a similar GNU code exists (in this case
coreutils). Also request for something that requires so much code has to be
justified with good usecases, not just "would be useful".

Details:

This is a feature request to utilize busybox code to further extend the
available commands in grub2.  In particular, I have the 'sed' command in mind,
but many of the commands would be useful additions to grub's scripting/shell
support.

Also relevant is [bug #38893] Scripting -- Add command output capture support.
 Commands such as sed would be useful with the ability to capture command
output to a variable.

To be honest, I have no familiarity with either the Grub2 or Busybox code
bases, so I'm not sure if this is a reasonable request or not.  I realize grub
is not meant to be a full-featured operating system in and of itself, but the
more capabilities/commands available in the grub shell, the better.
