odd warnings when running /data/y/yocdroid-run

[jarkkojs]

I get:

root@android:/ # /data/y/sbin/yocdroid-run                                     
/data/y/sbin/yocdroid-run[13]: env: not found
/data/y/sbin/yocdroid-run[13]: sed: not found
root@localhost:/# sed

Works great otherwise and sed and env are available.

You need busybox sed/env installed on the PATH. That's a known limitation right now. And while this will work to get you the shell, what you won't get if these are missing is the set of environment variables needed by Android processe, so some of the integration (e.g. the ability to run Dalvik processes like "am", "pm", "app-process", etc...) that you expect won't work.

Right. Sorry for not answering this earlier. I worked around it by creating symbolic links to sed and env from /data/busybox to /system/bin.

Really the right solution would be to write a tiny "env" replacement using the asm syscall stubs used for chroot-static and yocdroid-mountd. It wouldn't be hard, I just haven't found the time, and all the systems I care about have a busybox handy (and even for the ones that don't, the script allows you to pull a prebuilt one from e.g. http://busybox.net/downloads/binaries/latest/ and drop it in /data)
