It comes from genkernel. To update it, you need to update the tarball |
| 7 |
provided by genkernel, the /etc/genkernel.conf file, and possibly the |
| 8 |
configuration file used to actually build busybox. |

Remember that, as a rule, we follow the "if it isn't broken" rule with |
| 11 |
genkernel. We never update the software versions in genkernel unless |
| 12 |
there is a good reason to do so. This might be a good reason. We would |
| 13 |
have to evaluate if there are any custom patches that we have added, and |
| 14 |
if they would need to be forward ported to a new version, then get it |
| 15 |
tested. |
