The script can be extended to first save a copy of +`/bin/busybox` to an empty temporary directory, generate utility links to it in +the directory, and add the directory to `PATH`. Until all of this setup is +complete, the wrapper script must be careful to execute utilities as `busybox +$util` (a full path to `busybox` won't be necessary, as the usual `/bin/busybox` +will be available at that point). This includes the interpreter line, which +will need to be changed to `#!/bin/busybox sh`. `ash` built-in utilities can be +used as usual. + +The `busybox` package can't use `update-alternatives` to manage all of its +utility links until an `opkg-lede` with this wrapper script functionality is +uploaded. This is because, even if `busybox`'s `postinst` script is modified to +use the `busybox` executable directly, other packages' maintainer scripts may be +executed first, while `busybox` is unpacked but not yet configured (and +therefore utility links are not yet created). + +Once this new `opkg-lede` package is uploaded and `busybox` uses +`update-alternatives` for everything, `busybox` would need to declare that it +`Breaks` older versions of `opkg-lede`, to ensure that `opkg-lede` will preserve +a copy of the `busybox` executable and its utility links. However, this is +still insufficient, as the version of `opkg` that is *running* must have already +set up this environment before `busybox` is upgraded. `busybox`'s `prerm` +script will need to check for this somehow and abort the upgrade if `opkg` is +too old to have prepared for a safe upgrade. One solution is for the `opkg` +script to set an `OPKG_BUSYBOX_SAVED` environment variable. + +The `opkg` script of the `opkg-lede` package will need to read `busybox`'s list +of alternatives links. This is currently located at +`/usr/share/busybox/alternatives`. [The file's format][alts] will change when +`busybox` uses `update-alternatives` for everything: the last two columns (name +and priority) will be dropped. `opkg` however can simply read the first column, +so it will maintain compatibility. + +[opkg]: http://git.proteanos.com/pkg/opkg-lede.git/tree/opkg +[alts]: http://git.proteanos.com/pkg/busybox.git/tree/alternatives?id=e37f03311d934a8f33a9ff31db47b18bbf0be555 diff --git a/dev/wolfutil.mdwn b/dev/wolfutil.mdwn new file mode 100644 index 0000000..1fba2fe --- /dev/null +++ b/dev/wolfutil.mdwn @@ -0,0 +1,48 @@ +[[!meta title="Unofficial wolfSSL Utility"]] + +wolfutil is a command-line tool for the wolfSSL embedded (SSL/)TLS +library.
