su binary update support for Archos Gen8 devices #38

Hi ChainsDD

On XDA, I made a package to root the Archos Gen8 tablets. Now, after your Superuser app supports auto-update of the su binary, my users ran into the problem, that the app will not be able to determine the su binary location because the busybox Archos' stock firmare uses is garbage (it doesn't support the 'which' command).

This patch would solve this problem in an easy but not yet very beautiful way. Maybe you have a better idea as you have more understanding of Androids internals.

Best regards, chrulri

I appreciate your contribution, but I have a slightly more elegant solution in mind. Will be pushing the commit later this evening.

Looks good, just asking: when will this gonna be released?

ChainsDD commented 12 years ago

It'll probably be a couple days. I have a lot of things going on in my day life right now.

That's perfect, because you're not the only one with a day life ;-)
