Toybox is a BSD-licensed alternative to Busybox which may be of interest to a few people. It's still a work in progress but it already covers a large number of the basic commands a system needs. Removing toybox after it has been installed currently bricks the system though as the postrm script runs after '/bin/toybox' has been removed (so things like '/bin/ln' become broken links and the update-alternatives script can't run). Toybox is patched to change the install paths of several utilities to match the paths used by Busybox. This is needed as update-alternatives from opkg-utils cannot handle two providers of a given utility which place their links in different locations. Link locations have so far only been matched with Busybox, other packages such as coreutils still cause clashes. Therefore, toybox currently installs cleanly on core-image-minimal but fails to install cleanly on core-image-full-cmdline. Hopefully Toybox is still usable for testing in the current state. With further development of the recipe it should be possible to install and uninstall toybox cleanly on all core images. With further upstream development it should become a viable replacement for Busybox. Signed-off-by: Paul Barker <paul@paulbarker.me.uk> Signed-off-by: Martin Jansa <Martin.Jansa@gmail.com>

Send pull requests to openembedded-devel@lists.openembedded.org with '[meta-oe]' in the subject'
When sending single patches, please use something like:
'git send-email -M -1 --to openembedded-devel@lists.openembedded.org --subject-prefix=meta-oe][PATCH'
You are encouraged to fork the mirror on github https://github.com/openembedded/meta-oe/ to share your patches, this is preferred for patch sets consisting of more than one patch. Other services like gitorious, repo.or.cz or self hosted setups are of course accepted as well, 'git fetch <remote>' works the same on all of them. We recommend github because it is free, easy to use, has been proven to be reliable and has a really good web GUI.
