Description
What software would you like us to add to wolfi-os. Ideally include a URL to the project and its source.
https://github.com/landley/toybox
Toybox combines many common Linux command line utilities together into a single BSD-licensed executable. It's simple, small, fast, and reasonably standards-compliant (POSIX-2008 and LSB 4.1).
Toybox's main goal is to make Android self-hosting by improving Android's command line utilities so it can build an installable Android Open Source Project image entirely from source under a stock Android system. After a talk at the 2013 Embedded Linux Conference explaining this plan (outline, video), Google merged toybox into AOSP and began shipping toybox in Android Marshmallow in 2015.
which versions of the software should we include?
0.8.12
Add some justification for why this specific package and versions are important.
The restrictive license of busybox makes it sometimes not available for redistributing, while the license of toybox permits users unlimited freedom.
It also comes with the ambition of a much more reasonably standards-compliant, and tiny but clean code base.
Please check all that apply
- This package has an un-restrictive license
- The package/versions proposed are actively maintained upstream
- I am interested in adding this package to Wolfi OS myself
