Oops, I missed that.
I'm suprised I haven't confused add* & *add once so far in this
thread :-)
There was some upstream discussion to get useradd and groupadd
to
busybox upstream,
as this seems to be causing problems everywhere. They told that
they
are unwilling to include them as is,
but would accept a wrapper thar forward to their
adduser/addgroup
implementation.
I don't know which discussion you're referring to, and much might
have changed since 2016, but I read this[0] to mean the opposite:
Busybox should provide the shadow-compatible *add variants, and
reimplement their old add* as simple wrappers around that. That's
from an upstream(ish) person.
“adduser/addgroup tend to be symlinks or wrappers, if they exist
at
all, but by and large are deprecated. busybox should implement
applets that mimic shadow here and deprecate the old ones, if
not
throw them out. although we can probably rename & massage the
sources in these cases”
Still, Busybox *add patches welcome, it would seem. We'll still
have to deal with this for the lifetime of the older version.
Kind regards,
T G-R
