[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] shellinabox: new package

[Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com>]

Hello,

Thanks. I've applied your patch, but after doing some changes. Read on
below for the details.

When sending a new version, you should make sure the prefix of the
patch is "PATCH v2". This can be achieved by using the --subject-prefix
option of git format-patch.

Looks good. Please submit this patch to the upstream shellinabox
developers.

This should have been a "select" not a "depends on". And they should be
ordered alphabetically.

Those lines were slightly too long, so I rewrapped the Config.in help
text.

In the previous review, I think you were told to use the github helper
function, but didn't take into account this comment. So I've done the
necessary change.

It would have been good to indicate why you force enable the OpenSSL
support, while it seemed to be optional. I've tested, and indeed with
OpenSSL disabled, it fails to build. I've reported this issue upstream.

So, I've grouped things together and added a comment:

# The OpenSSL support is supposed to be optional, but in practice,
# with OpenSSL disabled, it fails to build. See
# https://github.com/shellinabox/shellinabox/issues/385.
SHELLINABOX_DEPENDENCIES = zlib openssl
SHELLINABOX_CONF_OPTS = \
        --disable-runtime-loading \
        --enable-ssl

As said above, I've fixed those issues and applied your patch.

Since shellinaboxd is a daemon, it would be great to have it started
automatically at boot time. Could you submit a follow-up patch that
adds either a init script or a systemd service file (or ideally both) ?

Thanks a lot for your contribution!

Best regards,

Thomas
