[ptxdist] How to get ptxdist recognize changes in busybox Config.src?

[Andreas Helmcke]

Hello,

I am trying to make / change a patch for busybox. The patch contains 
some changes to the busybox configuration in loginutils/Config.src.
Calling make menuconfig in 
ptxdist/platform-.../build-target/busybox-1.35.0 works and shows the new 
menu entries.
But ptxdist menuconfig does not offer this entries in the busybox menu 
at -> PTXdist Base Configuration -> Shell & Console Tools.

Any suggestion how to make ptxdist recognize these changes?


Best regards,
Andreas

Hi.

Ptxdist keeps a set of the busybox configuration.
This is used to render the changes locally.
So any changes must also be reflected in the local set.
Take a look under config/busybox.
These are generated and refreshed in ptxdist when busybox is updated.
Ptxdist also contains migration handling for old busybox configurations.

Christian

What you need to do is this:
- Add the patches and extract busybox
- run "ptxdist make busybox_import PTXDIST_IMPORTDIR=`pwd`"

This will create the busybox kconfig files in config/busybox/ in your BSP.
They will be used instead of the files from PTXdist.
