Hi there, I'm trying to build this with a Docker script:

FROM alpine:latest AS dependencies
WORKDIR /quickinstall
RUN apk add autoconf automake bison build-base bash cdrkit coreutils flex gettext gettext-dev gzip git libuuid libtool linux-headers \
    nasm ncurses openssh pkgconf pythonispython3 python3 sed sudo syslinux upx util-linux-dev wine xz zip

FROM dependencies AS init
COPY . .
ENV GIT_SSH_COMMAND="ssh -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no"
RUN bash init.sh

FROM init AS build
RUN bash build.sh

FROM scratch AS output
COPY --from=build __BIN__ /

which works for the most part (aside from having to patch .gitmodules [not posted] so that it doesn't clone using ssh with github) and a small patch to init.sh:

diff --git a/init.sh b/init.sh
index 8b71a25..d27ae1a 100755
--- a/init.sh
+++ b/init.sh
@@ -5,7 +5,7 @@ set -e
 #set -x
 #trap read debug

-git submodule update --init --recursive --depth 1 || true
+git submodule update --init --recursive --depth 1 --remote || true

 echo "--------------------------------"
 echo "Ignore the above message about not being able to find a certain commit hash,"

but the main issue I'm having is that when it comes to building busybox and the kernel, the config's need to be updated "upstream" (i.e. here) such that it doesn't prompt the user for additional input during building.

Can we please get updated configs in: buildscripts/busybox_config, buildscripts/linux_config.flp, and buildscripts/linux_config.cd

Thanks!

Cannot reproduce with busybox at least, the config file in my silent build output is the same as buildscripts/busybox_config....?
