Adding missing Linux package

[hubertbanas]

Looks like rsync is missing and I think it would be good to have it added. I would like to create a pull request but I'm not sure if we prefer to have it added to rootfs.tar.gz or addon.tar.
Perhaps this should be handled differently? Please advice.

I would love this.

i will add it through buildroot
rootfs.tar.gz is automatically updated in compilation, so it's useless to make any PR to this file.
addon.tar.gz is manually maintained - so any customizations and external addons should go there.

Would you mind pushing to git your configs such as

Code: Select all

buildroot/.config
busybox/.config

As well as scripts that you may have to automate the build process.

[Sorgelig]

i will do this at some point.

Did you publish your build root settings yet? I would like to start compiling a few pieces of software.

I would also really like to see these.

Same here.

Sorgelig - Is this something you are willing to do?

MiSTer is about FPGA.
It's not RPi and doesn't (and won't) have any package manager.
If you want to add something yourself, then you need to cross-compile it for armeabihf.
