[Buildroot] [PATCH 0/7] [RFC] systemV init without busybox series

[Károly Kasza]

Hello guys,

first, I'm happy that somebody else has the more/less same aim as me: to
make Buildroot able to create a more full Linux experience.
I think there are still some fundamental Linux tools' full versions are
missing, like shadow-utils to make Busybox circumventable,
but that's another story.

Regarding start-stop-daemon: I think that while downloading, configuring
and compiling dpkg is a more straight solution to get st-st-d, it's a bit
unnecessary to just get one .c file to produce one simple binary.
For this patch, I mostly used package/cache-calibrator as a template, which
basically does the exact same method.

Also, I think patching may still be needed for st-st-d for uClibc
compatibility, as uClibc tend not to have the O_NOFOLLOW preprocessor macro
declared in fcntl.h if __USE_GNU is not defined - and I think dpkg
configure does not define that?

Best regards,
Karoly
