First of all, thanks Martin for pointing it out. We've made busybox default to two binaries, busybox.nosuid and busybox.suid. We also add a variable 'BUSYBOX_SPLIT_SUID‘ to control its behavior. Now that we can have a busybox version with only one binary (/bin/busybox) or we can have a version with two binaries (/bin/busybox.nosuid and /bin/busybox.suid), the on-device upgrade issue starts to become a problem. We have to support four upgrade paths: A: busybox[split] B: busybox[no split] A --(upgrade)--> B B --(upgrade)--> A A --(upgrade)--> A B --(upgrade)--> B This problem can be more complex if we take into consideration the upgrade issue of other related packages, for example, busybox-syslog. The goal here is to make any upgrade path above successful. //Chen Qi
