[PATCH 0/1] util-linux: adjust hwclock ALTERNATIVE_PRIORITY

[Joe Slater]

I don't know if nslu2 even exists, but I think
we should not defeat using util-linux hwclock everywhere because
of it.  I don't know python, so maybe there is a not so ugly way
to compute the priority.

As to agetty -- it's an ALTERNATIVE_TARGET, so we might as well
include it in what we put on the target.

[PATCH 1/1] util-linux: adjust hwclock ALTERNATIVE_PRIORITY

[Joe Slater]

Make ALTERNATIVE_PRIORITY[hwclock] dependent on an
OVERRIDE so that the hwclock from busybox, if available,
will be used for the nslu2 bsp.

Independently, add util-linux-agetty to RRECOMMENDS.

I think this patch should be sperated out since it has nothing to do 
with hwclock.

I am not sure this is the right way to go with this, as I think it will 
make util-linux be MACHINE specific, which it should not be.

Can the nslu2 layer which seems to be maintained by Khem Raj take a 
patch that will set the ALTERNATIVE_PRIORITY of hwclock to 10, we might 
need to have a patch here:

ALTERNATIVE_PRIORITY[hwclock] ?= "100" so that it can be overridden by 
the layer?

Thoughts

Sau!
