[APKG Entware-ng] Patch (bugs with Virtualbox) for v 0.96

Post by father.mande »

Hi,

This patch must be apply on Entware-ng to avoid conflict with VirtualBox implementation.

Asustor choice to use the VirtualBox O.S.E. version ... this imply ... due to Oracle strange (it's the correct way to said "little stupid" even VirtualBox is a very good tools) rules :
1 /opt CAN'T be a link (not supported) ... so conflicting with Entware that use a link for /opt (also true for "official" Optware)
2 generate another error if /opt have full access right (suppose it's linked to security issue inside VirtualBox ... if not ????)

So due to the difficulty to Asustor to change (and the fact they have not to support tiers application like Entware) apply this patch

[VERSION]
ONLY for 0.96 Entware-ng APKG
... v 0.97 will be patched for fresh install (NO need to update from 0.96 + Patch)

[How-to]
copy the tar file provide hereafter in your Public shraed resource
open a ssh console as root / your password
cd /share/Public
tar xf ent_patch.tar

THIS create a folder named : ent_patch
cd ent_patch
./patch_entware-ng.sh
(don't forget the ./ )
5 secondes ... it's all clean the patch
cd /share/Public
rm -rf ent_patch*
