* fixed dd so it properly defaults to stdin and stdout when no
if= and of= are set (fix thanks to Eric Delaunay).
* Don't try to close the file descriptor of a pipe. (fix also from
Eric Delaunay).
* Made createPath be quiet (again thanks to Eric Delaunay).
* If BB_CONSOLE_CMD_IF_RC_SCRIPT_EXITS is defined, then whatever
command you define it as will be run if the init script exits.
* Made createPath be quiet (again thanks to Eric Delaunay).

* gzip now obeys the principle of least surprise and acts like god intended
(i.e. it accepts a file name, answers --help, and obeys the '-c' flag
and only then outputs to stdout).
* Fixed more.c to compile autowidth on sparc and set initial winsize
to 0,0 in case the TIOCGWINSZ ioctl fails. Fix thanks to Eric Delaunay.
* Fixed tar so it now works as expected (it had TRUE/FALSE backwards)
* tar now accepts --help
* chmod, chown, and chgrp usage now works
1999-11-12 01:30:18 +00:00
* General usage (i.e. --help) cleanups for most apps
* umount now parses options correctly
1999-11-12 01:30:18 +00:00
* tar can now unpack tarballs containing device special files,
sockets, and fifos (though it can't pack them up) thanks
to Matt Porter. Creating archives containing these is still
left to the interested student.
* fixed up the license in more.c to properly point to Bruce Perens.

* ls -l now displays link names outside the current directory,
1999-11-07 07:38:08 +00:00
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
1999-11-07 07:38:08 +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
a side effect of the busybox 0.32 recursiveAction() fix. Things
should now work correctly.
* grep wouldn't grep stdin. Now it does.
* sed wouldn't sed stdin. Now it does.
* sed was appending a \n to the end of lines with replacements.
Now it doesn't do that.
* ls -l now bypasses libc6 nss when displaying user/group names.
Now uses my_getpwuid and my_getgrgid.

0.33
* Fixed a bug where init could hang instead of rebooting.
* Removed some debugging noise from init.c
* Fixed ln so it works now (it was very broken).
* Fixed df so it won't segfault when there is no /etc/fstab,
* If BB_MTAB is not defined, df and mount will whine if /etc/fstab
is not installed (since they cannot fixup "/dev/root" to
state the real root device name)
* merged some redundant code from mtab.c/df.c into utility.c

* More changes -- many thanks to Lineo for paying me to work on
busybox. If you have any problems please let me know ASAP
at andersen@lineo.com or andersee@debian.org
* usage() now prints the BusyBox version. This will help folks
1999-10-22 19:49:09 +00:00
realize that they are not in Kansas anymore.
1999-10-22 18:18:31 +00:00
* Fixed mkdir -m option so that it works.
1999-10-23 05:42:08 +00:00
* kill segfaulted w/o any arguments. Now it doesn't do that.
* kill wasn't properly accepting signal names. It does now.
1999-11-04 21:18:07 +00:00
* Added new apps chvt and deallocvt (I should probably add open)
* Major rewrite of init.c. Code is now readable by mere mortals IMHO.
1999-10-29 23:36:31 +00:00
* Wrote sed -- weighs only 1.8k (5.8k with full regular expressions!).
* Fixed a stupid seg-fault in sync
1999-11-04 21:18:07 +00:00
* Fixed mount -- mount -a failed to parse and apply mount options
1999-11-05 00:31:46 +00:00
* Fixed umount -n (patch thanks to Matthew Grant <grantma@anathoth.gen.nz>)
* umount -a no longer umounts /proc
1999-11-04 21:18:07 +00:00
* 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.
1999-11-05 00:31:46 +00:00
* Fixed a nice bug in recursiveAction() which caused it to infinitely
hunt through /proc/../fd/* creating new file descriptors if it
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 <porter@debian.org>.

0.31
* I added a changelog for version 0.30.
* adjusted find internals to make it smaller, and removed
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
1999-10-22 05:18:28 +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
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.

0.30
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
functions is printed out (no this is not bloat -- the list
has to be there anyway to map invocation name to function).
* 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)
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.
* 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:
* 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.
* cp - Can now do 'cp -a' can can copy devices,
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
which will be the basic of a future mini-sed.
* 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.
* 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).
* 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
internationalization and such to make them smaller.
* sfdisk -- Added from util-linux (minus internationalization and such).
* Probably some other changes that I forgot to document...
