Configuring a better busybox
This is the default Busybox config in BR
Spoiler:
and here is the 3.3 mario_defconfig Spoiler:
They are 1.20.x and 1.7.2 respectively, and there is a world of difference between them (and is demonstrated by doing a DIFF on them both, they are very different) So I'm building a more feature rich busybox now, anyone has a request for the new config jump in and mention it. Thanks. EDIT: Okay so as per this is completely CAVEAT EMPTOR... Insert GPL link in your mind now... Thanks. The final config is also attached. please note this not some complete busybox replacement yet. These are interim development stubs. If you don't know how to implement them on your device, I would suggest you don't at this stage. Thanks

I was thinking about running it through a current busybox build to bring the old config up to date.

to do this you would
extract the busybox install from the Kindle_src_3.3_611680021.tar.gz to usr/local/src cp /usr/local/src/busybox-1.7.2mario_defconfig /home/you/GIT/buildroot/output/build/busybox-1.20.2 cd /home/you/GIT/buildroot/output/build/busybox-1.20.2 mv .config .config_org mv .config.old .config.old_org mv mario_defconfig .config make oldconfig This should use the settings that ARE set already and skip over the rubbish, saving us a very tough DIFF job.

Okay and now a config file that IS compliant with the new build questions and contains the defaults form the old one
Spoiler:

This list was posted before the .config listing was available.
Add: inetd So that servers / services can be started on-demand. Enable any/all servers but don't start them by default. Enhance the list of compression utilities that are enabled. Like, xz - then we don't have to build an external one. Probably other things. Those where the easy ones. Last edited by knc1; 09-02-2012 at 09:12 AM. |

dos2unix
ls_color not set (what use on grayscale?) module utilities == yes mount and mount helpers swap utils umount additional features of ip httpd Ah - one other thing about "make oldconfig" If the option was not mentioned in the oldconfig, then it was set to the new config's default (unless manually over-ridden). Which probably explains why this new config has things enabled that where not in the original one. Translation: Don't worry about it until it fails. |

So first glance of a diff would be

I'll have a pile through and see what makes sense to enable. Last edited by twobob; 09-02-2012 at 09:25 AM. |

Right, I basically held down return to just get a "parsable" .config. I figured now go thru with a make menuconfig and tidy it up, then inject as the new Busybox 1.20.x default_config for the BR build. Okay then. I'll jump back in. Thanks mate. |

config_static = yes
Otherwise you have to build two of them, one for the initramfs and one for the main filesystem after the dynamic library system is enabled. Building two busybox configurations - one with the minimum of features and built static for use in the initramfs one with the features maxed out for the main file system and "static not set" Is a common solution. PS: Was selecting systemd and de-selecting mdev an intentional choice? I thought the K3 was older than the systemd init system. |

NO
That is required so that Busybox can ID what name it was called with. Or, at least something to do with the applet selection at runtime. There is some documentation on that one (busybox site?) somewhere and it is in the section on how the basic choices for the bb binary and links are made. It wouldn't hurt to check the other *_PATH things for being reasonable for a kindle though. Last edited by knc1; 09-02-2012 at 09:52 AM. |
