Title: busybox removal from system set Author: Mike Gilbert Posted: 2021-09-24 Revision: 2 News-Item-Format: 2.0 Display-If-Installed: sys-apps/busybox Display-If-Profile: default/linux/* The sys-apps/busybox package has been removed from the system set (@system) in Linux profiles. It was decided that this package is not necessary for a basic system install. If you would like to keep this package installed, please ensure it is present in your Portage world file. emerge --select --noreplace sys-apps/busybox As well, the "static" USE flag has been disabled by default. It may be re-enabled locally via package.use if so desired. UPDATE: busybox includes a DHCP client (udhcpc). Some users of netifrc unknowingly rely on this client. If your networking configuration uses DHCP, please ensure that you have a DHCP client selected in the Portage world file.
