Arch Linux

Hi all
I just started a wiki if people are interested.
It would be nice to get some ideas how to evolve this further :)
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Base2busybox

Thanks for the feedback :)

A list of the binaries actually not provided by Busybox but symlinked anyway (just in order to get the error messages you got) is available in /usr/share/info/coreutils.gnuonly.ls.gz

Surprisingly, readlink is actually a supported Busybox command.
comparing man readlink (GNU version)
and /bin/busybox readlink --help: (I am going to look into if it is possible to make this output to man pages)
The GNU version also have -e, -m, -q and -s options. One of those options was probably used by Yaourt.
We probably need an AUR downloader/installer based on busybox too :)

When I try to use yaourt (eg. just re-instal your package) I got:
yaourt -S gnu2busybox-coreutils
readlink: błędna opcja -- 'e' ('błędna opcja' = 'invalid option')
BusyBox v1.18.4 (2011-04-06 08:32:20 UTC) multi-call binary.
Usage: readlink [-fnv] FILE
Display the value of a symlink
Options:
-f Canonicalize by following all symlinks
-n Don't add newline
-v Verbose
==> ERROR: is not a directory
So seems that yaourt is useless so far, but with 'pure' pacman it works ok.

Updated the package so that 'su' will work. Please give feedback if you find something else :)

I put lots of warnings on this package, but in fact I have managed to boot my 32 bit experimental system into KDE so it might be a complete drop-in replacement.
