|
|
|
* Busybox now includes a shell! It currently costs 7.5 k (plus an
|
|
|
|
additional 2.5 k if you compile in command line editing). Handles
|
|
|
|
job control, has the usual set of builtins, and does everything
|
|
|
|
except for handling programming statements (if, while, etc...)
|
2000-03-07 23:32:17 +00:00
|
|
|
* Busybox can now work perfectly when /proc is disabled, thereby
|
2000-03-08 14:50:47 +00:00
|
|
|
saving a bunch of memory (kernel /proc support is not thin). This
|
|
|
|
is done by making use of some nice kernel patches I wrote up to
|
|
|
|
support the features that busybox requires and that /proc usually
|
|
|
|
provides. To enable this, turn on BB_FEATURE_USE_DEVPS_PATCH and
|
|
|
|
patch your kernel with the devps patch in the kernel-patches/
|
|
|
|
directory.
|
2000-03-07 07:41:42 +00:00
|
|
|
* Wrote basename, killall, and uptime.
|
2000-04-09 15:17:40 +00:00
|
|
|
* tar has been completely rewritten by me. Both tar creation and
|
|
|
|
extraction are now well behaved. Costs 7.6k with all optional
|
|
|
|
tar features enabled, and 5k for just tar extraction support.
|
2000-03-04 22:23:27 +00:00
|
|
|
* Added freeramdisk, which will free up all memory associated
|
|
|
|
with a ram disk. Contributed by Emanuele Caratti <wiz@iol.it>
|
|
|
|
and then adjusted a bit by me.
|
2000-03-05 08:07:00 +00:00
|
|
|
* Added tr and dirname from John Lombardo <john@deltanet.com>
|
2000-03-16 08:09:09 +00:00
|
|
|
* Added echo and test (from me).
|
2000-04-04 18:49:18 +00:00
|
|
|
* Added usleep contributed by Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org>
|
2000-02-18 21:34:17 +00:00
|
|
|
* Several fixes from Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>:
|
|
|
|
- When `tail' fails to open a file it now exits.
|
|
|
|
- When `syslogd' is given the `-n' option it should still use
|
|
|
|
fork() for running klogd.
|
|
|
|
* nslookup types are now changed to u_int32_t (instead of uint32_t)
|
|
|
|
changed per a patch from Pascal Bellard <pascal.bellard@ascend.com>
|
2000-02-21 17:27:17 +00:00
|
|
|
* Fixed "du" so it gives the same answers as GNU "du" (busybox du used
|
|
|
|
to count hard-linked files more then once). Many thanks to
|
2000-02-19 18:16:49 +00:00
|
|
|
Friedrich Vedder <fwv@myrtle.lahn.de> for the fix.
|
2000-02-23 22:49:58 +00:00
|
|
|
* Removed /proc dependancies for init and free (while maintaining
|
|
|
|
exactly the same functionality). /proc takes up 90k of kernel
|
|
|
|
space, so it is nice to avoid using it at all costs.
|
|
|
|
* init no longer tries to mount /proc (unless there is less the 1 meg
|
|
|
|
free). Use of /proc (or not) is policy that should be set up in
|
|
|
|
/etc/fstab (or in hardcoded scripts), not in init.
|
|
|
|
* Fixed rebooting when init runs as an initrd.
|
2000-03-04 21:19:32 +00:00
|
|
|
* Fixes and updates from Karl M. Hegbloom <karlheg@debian.org>
|
|
|
|
- update.c rewritten to look more like update-2.11
|
|
|
|
- moveed the inode hash out of du.c and into utility.c to make
|
|
|
|
it a common resource that can be used by other apps.
|
|
|
|
- cp_mv.c now checks inodes to see if a source and dest are
|
|
|
|
the same, and prints an error (instead of endlessly looping).
|
|
|
|
- mv now attempts to do a rename, and will fall back to doing
|
|
|
|
a copy only if the rename fails.
|
2000-04-04 18:36:37 +00:00
|
|
|
- Syslogd now supports multiple concurrent connections
|
2000-03-04 21:19:32 +00:00
|
|
|
* Several fixes from Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>:
|
|
|
|
- Fixes to sort. Removed "-g", fixed and added "-r"
|
|
|
|
- Fixes to the makefile for handling "strip"
|
|
|
|
* An initial telnet implementation was added by
|
|
|
|
Randolph Chung <tausq@debian.org>.
|
2000-03-07 07:41:42 +00:00
|
|
|
* Fixed a bug where "sed 's/foo/bar/g'" (i.e. a script w/o a "-e")
|
2000-03-07 23:32:17 +00:00
|
|
|
* ps now supports BB_FEATURE_AUTOWIDTH, and can adjust its width
|
|
|
|
to match the terminal (defaults to width=79 when this is off).
|
2000-03-13 04:07:02 +00:00
|
|
|
* Fixed mount'ing loop devices when the filesystem type was not
|
|
|
|
specified. It used to revert to non-loop after the first try.
|
2000-03-21 22:32:57 +00:00
|
|
|
* all mallocs now use xmalloc (and so are OOM error safe), and
|
|
|
|
the common error handling saves a few bytes. Thanks to
|
|
|
|
Bob Tinsley <bob@earthrise.demon.co.uk> for the patch.
|
2000-03-23 01:09:18 +00:00
|
|
|
* Fix "+" parsing bug in date, from "Merle F. McClelland" <mfm@cts.com>.

|
|
|
|
* Fairly massive restructuring of umount.c to deal with remounting
|
|
|
|
busy devices read-only. Adds a -r option to control that; it is
|
|
|
|
optionally compiled in with BB_FEATURE_REMOUNT
|
2000-02-11 21:55:04 +00:00
|
|
|
* Added a bunch of functions to mtab.c to interact with the
|
|
|
|
{get,set,end}mntent interface; as it turns out, those functions do
|
2000-02-07 05:29:42 +00:00
|
|
|
not appear to be re-entrant, and that causes a lot of problems with
|
|
|
|
the way umount was originally written.
|
2000-02-11 21:55:04 +00:00
|
|
|
* Makes init send TERM and KILL (instead of HUP and KILL) on reboot
|
2000-02-07 05:29:42 +00:00
|
|
|
to be more consistent with sysvinit
|
2000-02-11 21:55:04 +00:00
|
|
|
* Changes to init.c to use the new -r option to umount. Also increased
|
2000-02-07 05:29:42 +00:00
|
|
|
the sleep time between the time the TERM and KILL signals are sent

|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* cp.c, mv.c: removed, replaced by cp_mv.c which has been
|
|
|
|
extensively rewritten from the original cp.c.
|
2000-02-11 21:55:04 +00:00
|
|
|
* Fixed cp and mv so if the source and destination are a the
|
|
|
|
same directory it will print an error and continue.
|
2000-02-07 05:29:42 +00:00
|
|
|
* Also added a warning message to the `mv' usage string saying that
|
|
|
|
this is not GNU mv, and it will break hard links. cp also breaks
|
|
|
|
hard links.
|
|
|
|
* ln.c: implemented `-n' switch, no-deref symlinks.
|
2000-02-11 21:55:04 +00:00
|
|
|
* include<sys/param.h>: and use PATH_MAX everywhere. busybox: File
|
|
|
|
* name buffer overrun guards to prevent future crashes.
|
2000-02-07 05:29:42 +00:00
|
|
|
- Always check exit status.
|
|
|
|
- Purge all use of `creat()', replace with `open()'.
|
|
|
|
* utility.c
|
2000-02-11 21:55:04 +00:00
|
|
|
- recursiveAction was overriding the value of followLinks thus
|
|
|
|
ignoring it.
|
2000-02-07 05:29:42 +00:00
|
|
|
- isDirectory now takes a followLinks boolean, updated all callers
|
|
|
|
- copyFile had the followLinks logic reversed.
|
|
|
|
* messages.c: New file. Put common error message strings all in
|
|
|
|
one place in an attempt to shrink the binary a little.

|
* Made tar creation support in busybox tar optional. You no longer
|
|
|
|
* _have_ to put a "-" in front of tar options. Tar could inadvertently
|
|
|
|
* change permissions and ownership on
|
2000-01-23 02:14:20 +00:00
|
|
|
certain directories pointed to by symlinks.
|
2000-01-19 04:30:37 +00:00
|
|
|
* Made grep and grep -h do the right thing wrt printing
|
|
|
|
the file name (it failed to print files names in many cases).
|
2000-01-20 19:51:48 +00:00
|
|
|
* Fix a namespace aliasing problem wereby if du was built in, the
|
2000-02-11 21:55:04 +00:00
|
|
|
symlink for both du and dutmp would be installed, or then rm was
|
2000-01-20 19:51:48 +00:00
|
|
|
built in, the symlinks for both rm and rmmod would be installed.
|
2000-01-23 01:34:05 +00:00
|
|
|
* Added a closelog() to init.c after loging -- fix thanks to
|
|
|
|
Taketoshi Sano <kgh12351@nifty.ne.jp>
|
|
|
|
* Rewrote and simplified logger. Added the "-t" option, and made it
|
|
|
|
behave itself a bit better.
|
|
|
|
* Optional support contributed by Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>
|
2000-02-11 21:55:04 +00:00

|
|
for the kernel init chroot patch by Werner Almesberger, which
|
2000-01-23 01:34:05 +00:00
|
|
|
allows init to chroot to a new device, and umount the old one.
|
2000-01-25 18:13:53 +00:00
|
|
|
* Fixed bug that wouldn't let one chown a symlink -- it would
|
2000-02-07 05:29:42 +00:00
|
|
|
always dereference before. -beppu
|
2000-01-25 18:13:53 +00:00

* Several contributions from Friedrich Vedder <fwv@myrtle.lahn.de>
|
2000-02-19 18:16:49 +00:00
|
|
|
* Added (and documented) "-n" option for head

2000-01-25 18:13:53 +00:00
|
|
|
* Cosmetic fix to busybox.c (Don't print a comma at the
|
|
|
|
end of line if there are no more application names).
|
2000-01-27 19:50:47 +00:00
|
|
|
* Fixed a stupid bug in "head" option handling ("head -n"
|
|
|
|
would segfault).
|
2000-01-25 18:13:53 +00:00
|
|
|
* Moved commonly used functions "xmalloc()" and "exit()"
|
|
|
|
to utility.c (with proper #ifdef's).
|
|
|
|
* Created a tiny tail implementation, removing -c, -q, -v, and making
|
2000-02-11 21:55:04 +00:00
|
|
|
tail -f work only with a single file. This reduced tail from 6k to
|
|
|
|
2.4k. The bigger/more featured tail can still be had by disabling
|
2000-02-19 18:16:49 +00:00

|
|
BB_FEATURE_SIMPLE_TAIL in busybox.defs.h
|
2000-01-26 20:06:48 +00:00
|
|
|
* Ping now falls back to doing the right thing if /etc/protocols
|
|
|
|
turns up missing.
|
|
|
|
* Fixed mount and umount. Previously they could leak loop device
|
|
|
|
allocations, causing the system to quickly run out. Fix for umount
|
|
|
|
by Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>, and mount was fixed by me.
|
2000-01-27 19:50:47 +00:00
|
|
|
* ls formatting on eight charactor user names fixed by
|
|
|
|
Randolph Chung <tausq@debian.org>.
|
|
|
|
* cp could, when copying symlinks, change permissions of the
|
|
|
|
files pointed to by the symlinks.
|
2000-02-07 05:29:42 +00:00

|
|
* Several fixes from Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>:
|
|
|
|
- `chown' with 1 argument displayed the error incorrectly
|
2000-02-11 21:55:04 +00:00
|
|
|
- `fdflush', `length' and `printf' crashed if run without arguments
|
2000-02-07 05:29:42 +00:00
|
|
|
- `fdflush' tried to flush itself using *argv
|
|
|
|
- added "skip" and "seek" to dd.
|
2000-02-11 21:55:04 +00:00
|
|
|
- ls no longer messus up output when combining files and
|
|
|
|
directories on the command line
|
2000-02-14 18:44:33 +00:00
|
|
|
* swapoff -a was not working. Now it is.
|
|
|
|
* init did not cleanly unmount filesystems on reboot. Now it does.
|
|
|
|
* "sed -ne s/foo/bar/" worked but "sed -n -e s/foo/bar/" didn't.
|
2000-02-10 07:31:15 +00:00
|
|
|
Now both work.
|
|
|
|
* Some architectures (PowerPc) assume chars are unsigned, so they could
|
|
|
|
not distinguish between EOF and '\0xFF' in sed. Sed now uses ints.
|
2000-02-11 21:55:04 +00:00
|
|
|
* Began converting error handling to use some common routines
|
|
|
|
in utility.c
|
|
|
|
* syslogd now has better message handling and ignores SIGHUP.
|
|
|
|
* install.sh had a bug preventing installation to the specified
|
|
|
|
target directory. Fix from Gilbert Coville <gilbert@mvista.com>
|
|
|
|
* You can now spefify alternative strip commands -- change
|
|
|
|
also from Gilbert Coville.

2000-02-11 21:55:04 +00:00
|
|
|
but similar to sysvinit), allowing me to get all the policy out of
|
|
|
|
init and into the conf file. It works just fine without inittab
|
2000-01-07 18:30:40 +00:00
|
|
|
being present, but if you dont like the defautl behavior you can
|
|
|
|
now do something about it. Init is much cleaner as a result.
|

* Fixed an bug in syslogd causing it to stop after 20 minutes. -erik

|
* Fixed an embarrasing segfault in head -beppu Fixed the embarrasing
|
|
|
|
* failure of 'logger -p'. -erik Added the -s option to du -beppu
|
2000-01-04 01:10:25 +00:00

|
* Re-worked the source tree a bit so it will compile under glibc 2.0.7
|
1999-12-17 18:44:15 +00:00
|
|
|
with the 2.0.x Linux kernel.
|
1999-12-21 08:52:04 +00:00
|
|
|
* Added 'grep -q' thanks to a patch from "Konstantin Boldyshev"
|
|
|
|
<konst@voshod.com>.
|
2000-01-07 18:30:40 +00:00
|
|
|
* Grep -i previously failed on UPPER CASE patterns due to a silly
|
|
|
|
regexp implementation bug that is now fixed.
|
1999-12-28 00:17:46 +00:00
|
|
|
* Fixed a bug where tar would set, and then clear SGID and SUID bits.
|
|
|
|
* Fixed a bug where tar would not set the user and group on device
|
|
|
|
special files.
|
2000-02-11 21:55:04 +00:00
|
|
|
* Fixed a bug where tar would not restore the time to files. Fixed a
|
|
|
|
* major security problem with tar -- it changed ownership
|
2000-01-07 18:30:40 +00:00
|
|
|
of any file pointed to by a symlink to 777 (like say libc....)
|
|
|
|
Ouch!!!
|
2000-01-04 01:10:25 +00:00
|
|
|
* cp and mv were very broken when moving directories. I have rewritten
|
2000-01-07 18:30:40 +00:00
|
|
|
them so they should now work as expected.
|
1999-12-29 22:19:46 +00:00
|
|
|
* sed now supports addresses (numeric or regexp, with negation) and
|
|
|
|
has an append command, thanks to Marco Pantaleoni <panta@prosa.it>
|
2000-02-11 21:55:04 +00:00
|
|
|
* Fixed dmesg. It wasn't parsing its options (-n or -s) properly.
|
1999-12-29 22:19:46 +00:00
|
|
|
* Some cosmetic fixes to ls output formatting to make it behave more
|
|
|
|
like GNU ls.
|
2000-02-11 21:55:04 +00:00
|
|
|
* Fixed a stupid segfault in kill. Several fixes from Friedrich Vedder
|
|
|
|
* <fwv@myrtle.lahn.de>:
|
2000-01-04 01:10:25 +00:00
|
|
|
- Added gunzip -t, removed gunzip.c dead code,
|
|
|
|
- fixed several typos
|
|
|
|
- Glibc 2.0.7 and libc5 compile fixes
|
2000-01-07 18:30:40 +00:00
|
|

<tausq@debian.org>. 3 items off the TODO list!
|
2000-02-11 21:55:04 +00:00
|
|
|
* I wrote free (just calls "cat /proc/meminfo"). Added tail, based on
|
|
|
|
* tail from GNU textutils-1.19, but adjusted
|
|
|
|
to suit my evil purposes. Costs 6k. I'll make it smaller
|
|
|
|
sometime.
|
1999-12-07 23:14:59 +00:00
|
|
|
* on reboot, init called 'umount -a -n', which caused errors
|
2000-02-11 21:55:04 +00:00
|
|
|
when BB_MTAB was not enabled. Changed to 'umount -a', which does
|
|
|
|
the right thing.
|
1999-12-08 23:19:36 +00:00
|
|
|
* init will now try to run /sbin/getty if it is present (for easy
|
|
|
|
integration with the about-to-be-released tinylogin.)
|
2000-02-11 21:55:04 +00:00
|
|
|
* kill now behaves itself properly, added 'kill -l' to list signals 'ls
|
|
|
|
* -l' was failing on long directories, since my_getid was leaking
|
1999-12-09 06:11:36 +00:00
|
|
|
one file descriptor per file. Oops.
|
2000-02-11 21:55:04 +00:00
|
|
|
* Fixed rebooting from init. I'd accidently left some debugging code
|
|
|
|
* in
|
1999-12-09 07:57:58 +00:00
|
|
|
which blocked reboots.
|
1999-12-10 08:25:07 +00:00
|
|
|
* Fixed reboot, halt (and added poweroff) such that they handle it when
|
|
|
|
init is not at PID 1 (like when running in an initrd).
|
1999-12-09 23:33:04 +00:00
|
|
|
* Added a prelinary du implementation. Some parameter parsing
|
2000-02-11 21:55:04 +00:00
|
|
|
stuff still needs to be added. -beppu (John Beppu
|
|

<beppu@lineo.com>)
|
|

|
|
|
|
file existed.
|
1999-12-07 08:37:31 +00:00
|
|
|
* df will not exit on error, but will stat all mounted filesystems.
|
2000-02-11 21:55:04 +00:00
|
|
|
* Fixed tar so uid/gid/permissions on extracted tarballs will be
|
|
|
|
correct.
|
1999-12-03 09:19:54 +00:00
|
|
|
* Fixed find -name so it properly uses shell wildcard patterns
|
|
|
|
(i.e. `*', `?', and `[]') instead of regular expressions, which
|
|
|
|
was causing some confusing and unexpected behavior.
|
1999-12-03 15:14:25 +00:00
|
|
|
* Added klogd to syslogd, so now the log will contain both system and
|
|
|
|
kernel messages.
|
1999-12-05 23:24:55 +00:00
|
|
|
* syslogd now creates the /dev/log socket to make sure it is there, and
|
|
|
|
is actually a socket with the right permissions.
|
1999-12-07 08:37:31 +00:00
|
|
|
* I've taken a first step to making busybox not need the /proc
|
|
|
|
filesystem. Most apps don't need it. Those that _require_ it,
|
|
|
|
will complain if you enable them when you disable
|

|
BB_FEATURE_USE_PROCFS.

* Wrote a micro syslogd, and a logger util (to log things to the syslog
|
|
|
|
from the command line or scripts) With both compiled in, costs 4k.
|
2000-02-11 21:55:04 +00:00
|
|
|
* Fixed 'make install' so symlinks are installed in their proper
|
|
|
|
* locations. Changed the build system slightly so that features can
|
|
|
|
* now be enabled
|
|
|
|
or disabled from the busybox.defs.h header file, without trying to
|
|
|
|
compile in a source file named after that featue (unless that file
|
|
|
|
exists).
|
|
|
|
* Several options are now moved into busybox.defs.h Now 'rm -R' and 'rm
|
|
|
|
* -r' both work. dd now properly handles input beyond 1 block from
|
|
|
|
* stdin. Fixed a bug where tar unpacked everything a directories.
|
|
|
|
* Moved some code
|
|
|
|
from createPath into mkdir where it belonged, thereby making tar
|
|
|
|
work properly.
|
|
|
|
* Fixed an off-by-one bug in cat. Given a list of file it wouldn't cat
|
|
|
|
* out the
|
1999-11-23 21:38:12 +00:00
|
|
|
last file in the list.
|
2000-02-11 21:55:04 +00:00
|
|
|
* Fixed 'ls -ln' so numeric group/uid are presented properly, and fixed
|
|
|
|
* 'ls -l'
|
|
|
|
so when uid/gid is not in /etc/{passwd,group} the numeric group/uid
|
|
|
|
are presented properly.
|
1999-11-25 07:30:46 +00:00

|
1999-11-13 04:47:09 +00:00

command you define it as will be run if the init script exits.
|
1999-11-18 00:19:26 +00:00

* Updated install.sh to make it more robust (thanks to Adam Di Carlo)
|
2000-02-11 21:55:04 +00:00

|
|
* NFS support added to mount by Eric Delaunay. It costs 10k when
|
|
|
|
* compiled
|
1999-11-15 17:33:30 +00:00
|
|
|
in, but that is still a big win for those that use NFS.
|
2000-02-11 21:55:04 +00:00
|
|
|
* Made 'rm -f' be silent for non-existant files (thanks to Eric
|
|
|
|
* Delaunay). changed zcat.c to gunzip.c. It now obeys the principle
|
|
|
|
* of least surprise
|
|
|
|
and acts as god intended gunzip and zcat to act. They answer
|
|
|
|
--help and obey the '-c' flag.
|
|
|
|
* Fixed a bug in mv which caused it to not move files when the
|
|
|
|
* destination
|
1999-11-18 00:19:26 +00:00
|
|
|
was a directory.
|
2000-02-11 21:55:04 +00:00

|
* directories
|
1999-11-18 00:19:26 +00:00
|
|
|
with very wrong permissions.
|
|
|
|
* chmod would overwrite file permissions instead of modifying them.
|
|
|
|
Now it properly modifies permissions.
|
2000-02-11 21:55:04 +00:00
|
|
|
* Init now sends warnings destined for the console to /dev/console to
|
|
|
|
* ensure
|
|
|
|
they show up on whatever the active console it. Otherwise
|
|
|
|
important messages (for example that the system is rebooting) were
|
|
|
|
not seen when switched to a different VT.

1999-11-12 01:30:18 +00:00

to 0,0 in case the TIOCGWINSZ ioctl fails. Fix thanks to Eric

Patch thanks to Eric Delaunay
|
|
|
|
* init now properly handles sparc serial consoles and does a
|
1999-11-10 20:17:47 +00:00
|
|
|
better job of finding the real console device rather than using
|
2000-02-11 21:55:04 +00:00
|
|
|
/dev/console which doesn't support job control. Patch also thanks
|
|

to Eric Delaunay.
|
1999-11-09 01:47:36 +00:00
|
|
|
* more started to read from stdin after the last file was finished, and
|
|
|

options were not parsed correctly (fix thanks to Eric Delaunay).
|
1999-11-09 01:51:02 +00:00

* more will now use the terminal size if BB_FEATURE_AUTOWIDTH is on.
|
1999-11-09 01:47:36 +00:00
|

|
* rm wouldn't remove a symlink unless the symlink was valid. This was
|
2000-02-11 21:55:04 +00:00
|
|
|
a side effect of the busybox 0.32 recursiveAction() fix. Things
|
1999-11-09 01:47:36 +00:00
|
|
|
should now work correctly.
|
2000-02-11 21:55:04 +00:00
|
|
|
* grep wouldn't grep stdin. Now it does. sed wouldn't sed stdin. Now
|

|
|
* replacements.
|
1999-11-09 01:47:36 +00:00
|
|

Now uses my_getpwuid and my_getgrgid.

|
* Fixed mkdir -m option so that it works. kill segfaulted w/o any
|
|
|
|
* arguments. Now it doesn't do that. kill wasn't properly accepting
|
|
|
|
* signal names. It does now. Added new apps chvt and deallocvt (I
|
|
|
|
* should probably add open) Major rewrite of init.c. Code is now
|
|
|
|
* readable by mere mortals IMHO. Wrote sed -- weighs only 1.8k (5.8k
|
|
|
|
* with full regular expressions!). Fixed a stupid seg-fault in sync
|
|
|
|
* Fixed mount -- mount -a failed to parse and apply mount options Fixed
|
|
|
|
* umount -n (patch thanks to Matthew Grant <grantma@anathoth.gen.nz>)
|
|
|
|
* umount -a no longer umounts /proc Added BB_MTAB, allowing (at the
|
|
|
|
* cost of ~1.5k and the need for a rw /etc)
|
|
|
|
folks to use a real /etc/mtab file instead of a symlink to
|
|
|
|
/proc/mounts. mount, and umount will add/remove entries and df
|
|
|
|
will now use /etc/mtab if BB_MTAB is defined.

|
* Fixed a nice bug in recursiveAction() which caused it to infinitely
|
|
|
|
hunt through /proc/../fd/* creating new file descriptors if it
|
2000-02-11 21:55:04 +00:00
|
|
|
followed the /dev/fd link over to /proc. recursiveAction() now
|
|
|
|
lstat's the file when followLinks==FALSE so it won't follow links
|
|
|
|
as the name suggests. Fix thanks to Matt Porter
|

|
|
|
* I added a changelog for version 0.30. adjusted find internals to
|
|
|
|
* make it smaller, and removed
|
1999-10-22 04:30:20 +00:00
|
|
|
some redundancy.
|
|
|
|
* Fixed a segfault in ps when /etc/passwd or /etc/group
|
|
|
|
are absent. Now will warn you and carry on.
|
|
|
|
* Added in optional _real_ regular expression support (to be
|
2000-02-11 21:55:04 +00:00
|
|
|
the basis for a future sed utility). When compiled in it adds
|
|
|
|
3.9k, but makes grep much more capable.
|
1999-10-22 05:14:44 +00:00
|
|
|
* Checked out using nftw(3) for recursive stuff, but unfortunatly
|
2000-02-11 21:55:04 +00:00
|
|
|
it wasn't supported before GNU libc 2.1, and some folks use glibc
|
|
|
|
2.0.7 since it is much smaller than that latest and greatest.

Major changes -- lots of stuff rewritten. Many thanks to Lineo for
|
|
|
|
paying me to make these updates. If you have any problems with busybox,
|
1999-10-22 04:30:20 +00:00
|
|
|
or notice any bugs -- please let me know so I can fix it. These
|
|
|
|
changes include:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Core Changes:
|
|
|
|
* busybox can now invoke apps in two ways: via symlinks to the
|
|
|
|
busybox binary, and as 'busybox [function] [arguments]...'
|
|
|
|
* When invoked as busybox, the list of currently compiled in
|
2000-02-11 21:55:04 +00:00
|
|
|
functions is printed out (no this is not bloat -- the list has
|
|
|
|
to be there anyway to map invocation name to function).
|
1999-10-22 04:30:20 +00:00
|
|
|
* busybox no longer parses command lines for apps or displays their
|
|
|
|
usage info. Each app gets to handle (or not handle) this for
|
|
|
|
itself.
|
|
|
|
* Eliminated monadic, dyadic, descend, block_device, and
|
|
|
|
postprocess. It was cumbersome to have so many programs
|
|
|
|
cobbled together in this way. Without them, the app is much
|
|
|
|
more granular.
|
|
|
|
* All shared code now lives in utility.c, and is properly
|
|
|
|
ifdef'ed to be only included for those apps requiring it.
|
|
|
|
* Eliminated struct FileInfo (the basis of monadic, dyadic, etc)
|
2000-02-11 21:55:04 +00:00
|
|
|
so now each app has the function prototype of (da-dum): extern
|
|
|
|
int foo_main(int argc, char** argv); which speeds integration
|
|
|
|
of new apps.
|
1999-10-22 04:30:20 +00:00
|
|
|
* Adjusted the Makefile to make it easier to
|
|
|
|
{en|dis}able debugging.
|
|
|
|
* Changed default compiler optimization to -Os
|
|
|
|
(optimize for smaller binaries).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
App Changes:
|
|
|
|
* To cope with the new app function prototype and the removal of
|
|
|
|
monadic, dyadic, etc, the following apps were re-written:
|
2000-02-11 21:55:04 +00:00
|
|
|
* cat - Works same as always. chgrp, chmod, chown -
|
|
|
|
* rewrite. Combined into a single
|
|
|
|
source file. Absorbed patches from Enrique Zanardi
|
|
|
|
<ezanard@debian.org> that removes the dependency on
|
|
|
|
libc6 libnss* libraries.
|
1999-10-22 04:30:20 +00:00
|
|
|
* cp - Can now do 'cp -a' can can copy devices,
|
2000-02-11 21:55:04 +00:00
|
|
|
pipes, symlinks, as well as recursive or non-recursive
|
|
|
|
dir copies.
|
|
|
|
* fdflush - adjusted to remove dependancy on struct
|
|
|
|
* FileInfo. find - Now includes some basic regexp matching
|
1999-10-22 04:30:20 +00:00
|
|
|
which will be the basic of a future mini-sed.
|
2000-02-11 21:55:04 +00:00
|
|
|
* ln - Same functionality. mkdir - Added -p flag to
|
|
|
|
* feature set. mv - rewrite. rm - Added -f flag to
|
|
|
|
* feature set. rmdir - Same functionality. swapon,
|
|
|
|
* swapoff - Combined into a single binary. No longer
|
|
|
|
uses /etc/swaps. swap{on|off} -a uses /etc/fstab
|
|
|
|
instead.
|
|
|
|
* touch - Same functionality. date - adjusted with a patch
|
|
|
|
* from Matthew Grant <grantma@anathoth.gen.nz>
|
|
|
|
to accomodate glibc timezone support. I then ripped out GNU
|
|
|
|
getopt.
|
2000-03-26 14:03:20 +00:00
|
|
|
* mkswap -- new version merged from util-linux. Can now make
|
|
|
|
>128Meg swaps.
|
|
|
|
* Replaced the old and star, unstar, and tarcat with the tar
|
|
|
|
implementation from sash. Now tar behaves as god intended it
|
|
|
|
to (i.e. tar -xvf <file> and tar -cf <file> <dir> work).
|
2000-02-11 21:55:04 +00:00
|
|
|
* dd -- rewritten. Can with with files, stdin, stdout. Added the
|
|
|
|
* following new apps: loadfont -- added from debian boot floppies
|
|
|
|
* chroot -- added based on a patch from Paolo Molaro
|
|
|
|
* <lupus@lettere.unipd.it> grep -- I just wrote it. Only matches
|
|
|
|
* simple strings ps -- I just wrote it. Has _no_ options at all,
|
|
|
|
* but works. fsck_minix, mkfs_minix -- added from util-linux, but
|
|
|
|
* I ripped out
|
1999-10-22 04:30:20 +00:00
|
|
|
internationalization and such to make them smaller.
|
2000-02-11 21:55:04 +00:00
|
|
|
* sfdisk -- Added from util-linux (minus
|
|
|
|
* internationalization and such). Probably some other
|
|
|
|
* changes that I forgot to document...
