| === Configurable packages |
| |
| Some foundational packages like Busybox and uClibc can be configured |
| with or without certain features. When writing Buildroot code that |
| uses such packages, contributors may assume that the options enabled |
| in the Buildroot-provided configurations are enabled. For example, |
| +package/busybox/busybox.config+ sets |
| +CONFIG_FEATURE_START_STOP_DAEMON_LONG_OPTIONS=y+, so init scripts |
| meant for use with Busybox init may use +start-stop-daemon+ with long |
| form options. |
| |
| People who use custom configurations that disable such default options |
| are responsible for making sure that any relevant scripts/packages |
| still work, and if not, adapting them accordingly. To follow the |
| Busybox example above, disabling long form options will require |
| replacing init scripts that use them (in an overlay). |
