Re: [OpenWrt-Devel] "-n" comparison not working in Busybox 1.13.4
Some of them are well documented differences, you can look to the Autoconf manual. It has had to handle them to become a really multiplatform tool. See for example: http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/html_node/Limitations-of-Builtins.html#index-g_t_0040command_007btest_007d-1431 really well explained problems and solutions. thanks for the link .. bud ___ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel

At least the brcm-2.4 images use even at least one proprietary binary. No difference to any other Linux (or BSD or ...) distribution. Nevertheless I added a paragraph to [1] which might clear this up a bit. BTW, there is one gray area in OpenWrt: Any patches in the source tree should be delivered under the license the patched application is under. Maybe this needs some clarification somehow.
