I know we've had customers who want a 'busybox free' system. In YP 2.0 there were still a few items provided by busybox, so just disabling it (blacklist) wasn't easy. This sounds like a good opportunity to make sure that you can make a system that works with and without busybox. With that said, looking at [2] below. I don't see that busybox ever really supported or not systemd (contrary to what it says.) It just means if systemd is selected, and the user is using busybox -- you should not use syslogd out of busybox. I think this is a reasonable requirement -- and something that should be fairly easy to implement. (With systemd, I'm not sure why you would want to use the busybox syslogd anyway.. it's too limited IMHO.) --Mark > Best regards, > alimon > > [1] > http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky-contrib/commit/?h=alimon/debug_times2&id=aa143dbe3cb233ee50944ebb62c541c823179a04 > [2] > https://git.busybox.net/busybox/commit/?id=accd9eeb719916da974584b33b1aeced5f3bb346 > > > -- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
