Hi all
I've written a package manager in C for my distro where packages are
basically gzipped cpio (newc type) archives.
I'm currently using the libarchive library in the program for
extraction, which works well, but is quite a big dependency.
So, as busybox handles those archives well (I tested it), I though it
would be nice to get rid of libarchive and use the code from busybox. As
my package manager is GPL, too, there should also be no licensing issues.
However, I have not dug too deep into the busybox code yet and just
wanted to ask whether someone knows if this is a good idea, e.g. how
much work it would be to isolate the needed parts for use in my code.
Has anybody else here ever done a similar thing, or is there maybe even
a document giving a rough idea about what has to be considered or how to
go about that the easiest?
Sorry if this post is considered off-topic, I just though maybe someone
has a quick answer that will save me some work.
Bye
Tim
