Is it possible to change the version of libubox in the backfire?

Is it possible to use a recent version of libubox

Yes. But, I wouldn't recommend that. Also, you will have to recompile it once you change the version.

If you want a more recent or latest version, why not contemplate to use the daily snapshot version or even compile it yourself from the SVN trunk?

I mean in the official version (in the svn branch) of backfire

Yes. Just edit the OpenWRT Makefile for the libubox package to reflect the version you want. If there is an MD5SUM entry, you also need to replace it with the MD5SUM for the version you will use. Then, recompile the package.

The discussion might have continued from here.
