... which can be set to false in order to turn off CONFIG_INSTALL_APPLET_SYMLINKS
The default behavior is unchanged. Users can set enableAppletSymlinks=false if they only want the main
busybox
binary in their profile. This is particularly useful when buildingpkgsStatic.busybox
.My own personal use case: I run a hybrid debian-nixpkgs system (I'm slowly migrating to nixpkgs). Busybox includes a binary called
dpkg
which does almost nothing of whatdpkg
does. I havenix-profile/bin
ahead of/usr/bin
in my$PATH
so I can use the nixpkgs version of things that would cause debian to break if I uninstalled them.Motivation for this change
