The config option is called BR2_BUSYBOX_VERSION_1_9_X instead of 1_9_1 for a reason. >> >> To me it doesn't make sense to keep earlier versions than the latest >> stable release of a given major version (E.G. 1.9.2 instead of 1.9.1) Ulf> What you are saying here is that you do not want to allow people Ulf> to decide for themselves when they should upgrade the busybox version. Ulf> I think a lot of project managers would have an issue with this. Exactly - Just like all the other packages we have. Buildroot lives and evolves over time (and it has to). If you want a static config, just don't change your buildroot snapshot. -- Bye, Peter Korsgaard
