Prompted by the recent mail about UBIFS, but not wanting to soil that thread, I have a query about overriding the base-files package.
I am adding more security to the basic system, which is a somewhat conflicting requirement to current design. I need to modify files that are part of the base-files package. Some other packages do this, modifying files in the rootfs. But this seems haphazard as build order is not strict. This would also be a package that is not platform specific, so the base-files extension mechanism per platform/target is not applicable. It seems to me that the current design is that a package owns it's files, and it is not expected that other packages should change those files. This is in the majority true, except for base-files and similar. Should I just replace base-files with a custom one? I'd prefer not to, it's a bit much. Adding a config option to base-files is also a possibility. But I'd like to just add a package. To add some specifics, adding a default (rather than blank) password hits base-files/passwd, and always requiring a login hits base-files/preinit/99_10_failsafe_login. inittab needs adjusting, and the busybox utils getty and login are config'd.
