[gentoo-user] emerge busybox Why?

2005-06-04 Thread Bill Roberts 
My usual emerge -uavDt world this morning wanted to emerge busybox.

It doesn't show as a dependency for anything, and I've never emerged
it for anything.

Any idea why??

I believe it's been added to system in place of sash. It's similarly very 
small in size but has a much larger feature set that is generally very useful 
in emergencies.

Hi,
The answer *is* above, also emerged busybox and later as it didn't
depend on anything checked the system with emerge depclean -pv. The
result: unmerged sash. evidently busybox takes the place of sash (in
system-profile).

With apologies for my ignorance, what did sash used to do?  My
understanding is that busybox is a very small embedded linux for SBCs
and controllers and such (I noticed busybox yesterday too, and it made
me curious as I didn't remember emerging it).

Of course if you're particularly adept at breaking your system, busybox
may not work unless it is statically linked.

 # echo sys-apps/busybox static  /etc/portage/package.use

Before you emerge it.
