Also, the commit log should explain the rationale for switching from host-mkpasswd to host-busybox. I know it has been discussed on the list, but a commit log is much easier to find in the Git history than an e-mail discussion on the mailing list. So a summary of the motivations for the change would be nice. Thanks! Thomas -- Thomas Petazzoni, CTO, Bootlin (formerly Free Electrons) Embedded Linux and Kernel engineering https://bootlin.com
