If busybox is available on desktop, I would like to call the busybox applet through 'busybox appletname'. If I just call passwd, I will call the desktop version. That is not what I want and this is not how it has so far worked. I think this feature should have been at least optional and if it has to break, it is definitely something to document in the migration guide, isn't it? Currently, I do not see any simple way without #ifdef jungle in the code around to it. It is not nice. > > Ross -- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
