Git commit: 4a36a32567ecfbc7ce7b967803e6e23314953ef5

The procps package which includes ps command is missing in sato and sato-sdk image. Currently the /bin/ps command is linked to busybox. 
###########
root@qemuarm:~# ls -l /bin/ps
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root             7 Dec 26 20:35 /bin/ps -> busybox
root@qemuarm:~# 
root@qemuarm:~# rpm -qf /bin/ps
busybox-1.20.2-r4.armv5te
root@qemuarm:~# 
############

With 20121205 build (git commit: 381c4b69c7e8b452f4d3de2f8214e6e5f6a9abe7), This package is installed.

root@qemuarm:~# ls -l /bin/ps

root@qemuarm:~# rpm -qf /bin/ps.procps 
procps-3.2.8-r10.armv5te

###########

I don't know if it is a real issue or we just do it on purpose.

I think this is due to the fact that zypper RRECOMMEDS procps and the newer smart packaging does not, so procps does not get installed.

This is intended.  If you built ipk vs rpm you might see the same difference.
