Bug#1069864: busybox: Please enable "install" applet
Package: busybox
Version: 1:1.35.0-4+b3
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hi,
BusyBox can provide a simple version of "install" command
(https://busybox.net/downloads/BusyBox.html#install).
Unfortunately, in the package configuration, the options responsible
for enabling this applet are not set:
# CONFIG_INSTALL is not set
# CONFIG_FEATURE_INSTALL_LONG_OPTIONS is not set
(for all 3 packages - regular, static and udeb)
This is a quite frequently used command that is part of coreutils,
so it is worth making it available in the minimal environment
provided by BusyBox.
Simple patch (for regular package) attached.
Regards,
Robert Paciorek
