busybox dpkg progress
The buxybox version of dpkg is working now, provides the same
functionality as udpkg in cvs.
Probably still got some refinement to do.
Sizes comparison on my system are
Defualt busybox udeb configuration 131452 KB
bb without dpkg-deb compiled in 128956 KB
Full udpkg standalone 13500 KB
total 142456 KB
bb withough dpkg-deb or ar compiled in (calls them internally) 139388 KB
Thats with full dpkg support, if we make it just for the installer
(without un-necessary fields) its 137916 KB which would be the same
savings for udpkg as well i assume.
So it saves about 3KB, which isnt as much as i had expected... oh well.
Its not in CVS yet, it will be in a couple of days.
