* Alternatives handling for cpio (cpio vs busybox) @ 2007-03-27 8:05 Rod Whitby 2007-03-27 11:00 ` Marcin Juszkiewicz 2007-03-27 17:38 ` Michael 'Mickey' Lauer 0 siblings, 2 replies; 4+ messages in thread From: Rod Whitby @ 2007-03-27 8:05 UTC (permalink / raw) To: openembedded-devel I have a need for the *real* cpio to override the busybox cpio. This is normal practice in OE, and well understood. The problem, however, is that busybox puts cpio in /bin, whereas the cpio package puts cpio in /usr/bin. This makes it hard for update-alternatives to work. I propose to change the cpio package such that it installs cpio in /bin instead of /usr/bin, and then uses update-alternatives to select it ahead of busybox. Any objections? -- Rod ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
