[Buildroot] [PATCH] cukinia: new package

[Alexandre Leblanc <alexandre.leblanc@savoirfairelinux.com>]

Thank you for your reply.
I'm quite new to the world of project up-streaming. 
Knowing This might be a hard question to answer, would you be able to quantify how many outside contribution would be reasonably acceptable ? 

Thank you again 

Alexandre Leblanc

As much as I like adding new package in Buildroot, this project feels
like your own project, very recently started, with no outside
contributions. In the end it's just a single shell script providing a
few functions. Could be useful, but I'm not sure we want to add this as
a Buildroot package that quickly.

Perhaps we need to see if there is some interest/adoption first?

I'm not sure I like this idea of SZZcukinia, though indeed S99 wouldn't
work because a few other Buildroot services are started at S99, and you
want to be after those services. Maybe other developers will have some
ideas?

GPLv3 should be GPL-3.0.
