Currently, when a custom user table and a package define the same user, the settings from the package takes precedence over the ones from the custom user table. However, it makes sense to allow the settings from the custom user table take precedence. For example, it would allow redirecting the user's home directory to an alternate location (e.g. away from tmp and into a partition that is persistent). The support/scripts/mkusers script will only retain settings from the latest definition it finds. Thus, by passing the custom user table after the package defined users, it is possible to override the package provided user definitions. Acked-by: "Yann E.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC. If you would like to contribute patches, please read https://buildroot.org/manual.html#submitting-patches
