Since busybox 1.20+ includes a lsof applet make sure lsof gets built
after busybox so that we get the full-blown version if both are enabled.
Also hide the lsof package unless BUSYBOX_SHOW_OTHERS is true.

No, that's not what we do for all other packages. Gustavo's patch is
correct with regard to the current guidelines.

Now, whether we should change those guidelines to something else is a
different story. But if we change the guideline, it should be changed
for all packages and not just for lsof.

Regards,

Thomas

package/kmod/Config.in is already like this

and it's more clean

 I agree that it's better to do it in the package's Config.in.

 And changing the guideline doesn't automatically mean that all
packages have to change.  Only new packages (or patches) must follow 
the guideline.

The main reason why it's done like this is that it's only the _TOOLS
suboption that should depend on the _SHOW_OTHERS option.

True. But the first thing to decide on is if this _SHOW_OTHERS option is
really useful. It was afaik introduced long time ago to encourage people
to use the busybox applets instead of the full blown versions, but
perhaps we should just let people decide for themselves?

Committed, thanks.

I'd just kill it altogether, i'm not a fan of hidden options since 
they're prone to noise (people asking where it is) if they can be 
avoided.
And probably use Arnout's idea of appending it to the menu text or 
help.
