Name:BusyBox Installer
Summary:Interface to install system tools
Description:
Interface to install BusyBox 1.21.1 
(just ARM architecture for now as the other ones can't be built) 
as well other versions off the internet (if you're brave).
Don't install the 1.21.0 version as it isn't in the apk.

BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single
small executable. It provides replacements for most of the utilities you
usually find in GNU fileutils, shellutils, etc. 
Android usually comes with a very limited multi-tool called Toolbox
and sometimes it is crippled even more, so a standard Busybox is often needed
by root apps that need to do different jobs.

The app allows you backup and restore current binaries; to disable individual applets 
and see their help documentation.
Just in case something goes wrong it would be wise to have a system
image nearby that can be flashed via recovery or fastboot.

The range of applets in
[https://raw2.github.com/tias/android-busybox-ndk/master/android_ndk_stericson-like this]
version isn't identical to the upstream version.

Requires root.

Maintainer Notes:
The Java app is hard to figure out as things keep moving around and there are 
no commit descriptions.
It's now using gradle but it's half baked at time of writing.

Busybox x86 and MIPS hang for me with linusyang setup with stericson and basic configs.
The Tias setup won't patch properly; maybe it's my version of sed.

The busybox binary was tested with toolchain 4.6; I don't have toolchain 4.4.3 installed.
So if it doesn't build just sed 4.6 in ../BB/Makefile.

For 10.3 I just ripped out the prebuilts; it seems to be OK but somebody should verify.
