[ELDK] [PATCH] Use separate directories for conflicting busybox links

[Detlev Zundel]

Hi Wolfgang,

> Sometimes there are reasons to install the full-featured tool versions
> for commands also provided by BusyBox.  So far, the implementation
> would resolve the resulting conflicts by renaming the full-featured
> tools and issuing a warning like this:
>
> Warning: renaming conflicting binary to /usr/bin/foo.nonbb
>
> Renaming the BusyBox version of the command does not work, as BusyBox
> would not recognize such unexpected command names.
>
> On the other hand, if someone decides to install such full-featured
> tool versions he probably does because he wants to use these instead
> of the BusyBox version, so the renaming is sub-optimal (especially in
> cases with well-know path names like /bin/sh etc.).
>
> This commit changes the behaviour and will create the BusyBox links in
> special "bb" subdirectories and issue a warning like this:
>
> Warning: creating conflicting link as /usr/bin/bb/foo

Excellent.  This elegant solution did not appear to me before, thanks!
