Anything else of interest? Working on this now, hoping to have a PR later.

I would love to have a package which bootstraps void with busybox as a base.

SUID'ing or otherwise adding caps to busybox seems bad. IIRC Alpine carries a patch that moves things around in ping to not require privileges.

The issues are still present. :woozy_face:
We could probably copy over the patches that Alpine, Adelie and other Linux distros use.

At that point they might just as well fork busybox.... That's way too many patches.

Comment:
Many of those patches should actually be merged upstream. And those which aren't bugfixes should be allowed to be built as options.

Closed issue by dbrll on void-packages repository
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/11263
Description:
I'm migrating my userland from GNU Coreutils to Busybox and have noticed several issues with the Void package.
- `CONFIG_FEATURE_USERNAME_COMPLETION` not set in [.config](https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/blob/master/srcpkgs/busybox/files/dotconfig).
That means the autocompletion will not work for $HOME, which is annoying when using busybox as a login shell. There is no apparent reason why this flag shouldn't be set.
- If `/bin/ash` doesn't exist, the package should create a symlink /bin/ash -> /bin/busybox and add it to /etc/shells. This needs to be done manually so far.
- "ping" applet doesn't work
Since adding a suid flag on /bin/busybox is out of question, the following should be done instead:
```
setcap cap_net_raw=ep /bin/busybox # set capability for raw sockets on the binary
sysctl -w net.ipv4.ping_group_range=1 4 # allow GIDs 1 to 4 (wheel) to ping (should be added to /etc/sysctl.conf)
```
- "less" only show the first line of the file. I couldn't figure this one. Building from the upstream sources provides a working applet so this seems specific to the package.
- The static build will most likely be used in the initramfs as a rescue shell, or as the login shell for root (same use case). Setting `CONFIG_FEATURE_SH_STANDALONE` for the static package would probably make sense, so the shell will first use its builtin commands.

Comment:
Seems like the way to go would be to create a PR... Busybox is already provided, we should be alright using all the patches from Alpine, which are small tweaks to make Busybox suitable for general systems and not embedded ones. Also, the busybox package should provide "alternatives" like the `ip` command, etc.
