MORIN changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |yann.morin.1998 at free.fr --- Comment #1 from Yann E. MORIN --- Max, All, > It would be great to be able to use [embedded scripts] What is the advantage over having the scripts installed in /bin or /usr/bin instead? If you are concerned about space that much that you want to take advantage of busybox' compression of the scripts, you would anyway consider a compressed filesystem like squashfs anyway, so the space gain would probably be ridiculous. > there is no configuration option in buildroot [for that] Indeed no, but it should not be overly complex to add. Yet, I'd like to see a good explanations why that would be better than to have the scripts in the filesystem instead. Regards, Yann E. MORIN. PS. Yes, support for embedded scripts is enabled in a default build, but that's an accident: our busybox .config was created before embedded scripts were a thing, so they are not explicitly disabled in our .config, and since the default for them in busybox is 'y', we end up with a buysbox that has support for embedded script (but no such script). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
