Subject: Re: [Buildroot] [PATCH] package/atop: fix musl build
Date: Sat, 10 Oct 2026 12:01:52 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261010100152.490887-1-thomas.perale@mind.be> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260930211826.2349920-1-yegorslists@gmail.com>
Hi,
Tested by modifying `support/testing/tests/package/test_atop.py` to use musl
library.
I would just add the reference to the buildroot commit that made the bump: 2110131cab2a613567c99491ba540bb33440e46c
Tested-By: Thomas Perale <thomas.perale@mind.be>
