Thanks. util-linux definitely needs some love. However, can you comment
on backward compatibility in terms of Config.in option? I.e, what
happens if a Buildroot user has an existing .config which uses
util-linux, and upgrades Buildroot to a version that contains your
patches. What will happen?
In any case, your patch 2/3 is removing
BR2_PACKAGE_UTIL_LINUX_BINARIES, so you should update Config.in.legacy
accordingly.
Best regards,
Thomas
