[OpenWrt-Devel] [PATCH 0/5] Smooth install/uninstall of full version alongside busybox

[openwrt at daniel.thecshore.com]

There are a few packages in base and quite a number in packages feed that
replace busybox applets with full versions of the applicable command(s).

This patch series implements a common infrastructure for consistent
behavior.

Basically the full version is configure to install into a non-conflicting
location (e.g. if busybox is in /bin then full is /usr/bin and vice
versa) and the busybox symlink replace with a symlink to the full version.

On uninstall the symlink to the full version is replaced by a symlink to
the busybox applet.

This avoids the situation where installing and then uninstalling a full
version results in a broken system due to missing busybox symlinks,
as well as taking care of full versions not actually getting used
due to PATH pointing to the busybox version version.

Regards,

Daniel
