I'd originally depended on it (unknowingly) for route metric support when fixing the DNS & defaultroute issues in every image I've seen lately. (http://jthinks.com/better-freerunner-networking) Luckily the busybox version of 'route' supports metrics, so my fixes only depend on resolvconf being installed. I also use 'dig' constantly on servers, so although I never opkg'ed it up I keep that on my server as well. (full bind9 actually: dig, nslookup, named, rndc and host, though I only use dig on the FR) It would be great to see those in the feed, as well as a fixed resolvconf. (needs /etc/resolvconf subfolder 'run', with empty subfolder 'interface' and empty files 'resolv.conf' and 'enable-updates' under 'run', /etc/resolv.conf as symlink to /etc/resolvconf/run/resolv.conf, and file /lib/resolvconf/list-records - my netfix tarball has these fixes) j _______________________________________________ devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
