Subject: ci(busybox): install more non-busybox binaries
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=31a1c36880c37da52b6ba5b3e47b939ef4e5033a;p=thirdparty%2Fdracut-ng.git

ci(busybox): install more non-busybox binaries

Redesign the way the busybox container is computed to make it
easier to maintain and eliminate the need to install additional
alpine packages later on.

The new approach inherits from the "regular" alpine dracut container
and replaces all GNU coreutils and GNU util-linux binaries with
busybox binaries.

This PR is reusing Dockerfile-alpine and have an OPTION variable to
prioritize busybox.
