I've managed to get Akaros up and running entirely without Busybox; so far
it seems to be working well. I modified the shell's error handling to
understand 'errstr()', but need to do so for most of the other packages as
well. I built everything out of tree, but I'll start sending up patches
soon for integrating into our environment.
I've installed the following packages:
* Bash
* GNU cpio
* coreutils
* diffutils
* ed
* gawk
* GNU grep
* GNU sed
* GNU tar
I've removed the following:
* Busybox ash
* Busybox killall
* Busybox killall5
* Busybox vi
Several things needed patches, but all in all it wasn't hard to port these
packages.
Something to watch out for: "bind" is a shell builtin in Bash, and so it
takes precedence over /bin/bind (which manipulates the namespace). I've
changed a few shell scripts to call "/bin/bind" explicitly but that's just
a workaround. We will have to figure out some clever way to address the
name collision more gracefully.
