Hm I looked at the goals of toybox again: > Toybox's main goal is to make Android self-hosting by improving Android's > command line utilities so it can build an installable Android Open Source > Project image entirely from source under a stock Android system.
> Toybox aims to provide one quarter of a theoretical "minimal native > development environment" > In theory, this should only require four packages I don't know much about Android -- is this at all realistic for FIVE packages -- if you add mksh, which I believe is the Android system shell ? Can Android even be built on Android at all, with any number of packages? e.g. if you download all the dev tools onto an Android device ... I imagine it is a ton of tools, and not very fun. --- Anyway, if there is something realistic we could do here with OSH, that may be of interest to our funders http://nlnet.nl e.g. testing that important packages can actually be built, and reducing real failures to reproducible test cases. That is a lot of real work >From some viewpoints it could be theoretical, but proving that you can build a real system is important!
