<ul><li><strong>% Done</strong> changed from <i>0</i> to <i>50</i></li></ul><p>Add ability to make an ext3 image from the Busybox build and push it to the package directory as the rootfs.ext3 as a test rootfs. Also added ability to specify an alternative configuration (BC=) on the command line.</p>
<p>The build works but the resulting image hasn't been tested yet.</p> PiBox - Bug #282: rootfs rebuild takes too long when testing new toolchain buildshttps://redmine.graphics-muse.org/issues/282?journal_id=10242014-03-06T03:54:27ZHammelmjhammel@graphics-muse.org
<ul><li><strong>Status</strong> changed from <i>In Progress</i> to <i>Closed</i></li><li><strong>% Done</strong> changed from <i>50</i> to <i>100</i></li></ul><p>Updated Busybox build to allow building a minimal rootfs that will boot to a shell prompt. This is only useful for testing new toolchains since a full rootfs can take hours to complete while this rootfs takes about 90 seconds. The resulting rootfs.ext3 will replace the one in the package directory when busybox-pkg is run so you need to be careful to save off your previous Buildroot-generated rootfs is you need to save it.</p>
<p>rootfs was tested with current toolchain and kernel (3.10.y) and it boots fine. Now its ready to be tested with new toolchain builds.</p>
