Normally users configure busybox via the command line in a meuconfig |
| 7 |
mode much like the kernel itself. portage/emerge do not go interactive |
| 8 |
so we made a way for you to provide an additional configuration file for |
| 9 |
it if the gentoo defaults are not what you're after while using the |
| 10 |
ebuild. That option is USE='savedconfig' When using savedconfig we |
| 11 |
bypass the menuconfig and simply copy the config file in place where |
| 12 |
busybox would look for it. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
So lets say your using version 1.01.gentoo revision 0 you would do |
| 15 |
something like this. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
cd /usr/portage/*/busybox/ |
| 18 |
ebuild busybox-1.01.ebuid fetch clean unpack |
| 19 |
cd /var/tmp/portage/busybox-1.01/work/busybox-1.01 |
| 20 |
make menuconfig |
| 21 |
# save it |
| 22 |
mkdir -p /etc/busybox/ |
| 23 |
cp .config /etc/busybox/<dest> |
| 24 |
# the above commands are pretty much done only once |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
By default savedconfig looks for these files in this order and stops |
| 27 |
looking at the first match. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
/etc/busybox/busybox-1.01-r0.config |
| 30 |
/etc/busybox/busybox-1.01.config |
| 31 |
/etc/busybox/busybox.config |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
If one exists it is used in place of any other USE options which the |
| 34 |
ebuild may of set (ie most all other USE flags become meaningless when |
| 35 |
savedconfig is enabled) |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Every time you merge it again in the future when saveconfig is set the |
| 38 |
ebuild load your config and build the applets and options you defined |
| 39 |
and save it to /etc/busybox/busybox-$PN-$PR.config file |
