| Jim Reisert : DX4WIN | Upgrade Tips |
| Category | Status | Notes | |----------|--------|-------| | bash | ✅ Full | Basic shell scripting works. | | coreutils (ls, cat, grep) | ✅ Partial | Some utils like realpath may miss features. | | python (3.8) | ✅ Works | Slow, but runs basic scripts. No numpy (requires newer glibc). | | openssh | ✅ Works | You can ssh into other machines, but not host a server reliably. | | nano / vim | ✅ Works | Great for on-device text editing. | | git (v2.25) | ✅ Works | HTTPS clones to GitHub work (but SSL certificates may be outdated). | | gcc / clang | ❌ Fails | C++11 code may compile, but linking against Android 4’s bionic libc often crashes. | | nodejs | ❌ Fails | Requires kernel features for epoll in a way KitKat’s kernel doesn’t support. | | termux-api | ❌ No | Hardware access (camera, sensors) is impossible. | | nmap / tcpdump | ❌ Partial | nmap errors because of missing libpcap capabilities. |
