58b118ae33 Ahem. ("I'm just tweaking a documentation string, I don't need to compile
test it before checking in..."  New entry for famous last words list.)

Add the missing backslash at the end of the new sed doc string line.

(This one actually compiled with "show verbose applet usage messages"...)

Yes, I know busybox is in feature freeze. If this two-liner is too much
that's fine, but it's handy.

This patch allows busybox mount to support "-o move" just like it
supports "-o bind", which is the equivalent of util-linux "mount --move".

Usage is:

mount -o move /mnt/point/1 /mnt/point/2

where /mnt/point/1 is an already mounted filesystem; it will be moved to
/mnt/point/2.

Here is a patch that adds egrep -L support (the opposite of egrep -l).

I realize this is probably too late for 1.0.  But I offer it for your
future consideration.

egrep -L is used in some networking startup scripts I inherited.

add sed -r support.

I bumped into a couple of things that want to use extended regular expressions
in sed, and it really isn't that hard to add.  Can't say I've extensively
tested it, but it's small and isn't going to break anything that doesn't use
it, so...

Hi,

I just re-reviewed the patch I just sent...and it needed to be BUFSIZ-3 in
dos2unix.c . tempFn is BUFSIZ so the last addressable spot it BUFSIZ-1. The loop
increments by 2. That's why it should be BUFSIZ-3.

Hello,

I found and patched 2 more bugs. The first is a misplaced semi-colon. The second
one is a buffer overflow. I doubt the buffer overflow is triggered in real life.
But you never know what those wily hackers are up to.

Hello,

Last November a bug was found in iproute. CAN-2003-0856 has more information.
Basically, netlink packets can come from any user. If a program performs action
based on netlink packets, they must be examined to make sure they came from the
place they are expected (the kernel).

Attached is a patch against pre8. Please apply this before releasing 1.00 final.
All users of busy box may be vulnerable to local attacks without it.

Hi,

    the following output is from BusyBox 1.0.0-pre10:

This patch fixes it by removing the advertisements for

b94669543d This sed patch can only be described as "duh". Stat the source file, chmod
the _destination_ file.  (Ah hah!  That works _much_ better...)  I
implemented the behavior, I just forgot to test this corner of it.  My fault,
sorry...

No, gnu sed -i doesn't preverve ownership information.  I checked.
Permissions, yes, ownership info, no.

faa7d863fc So I'm building a linux from scratch system, using a working script to do this
that the _only_ change to is that gnu sed has been replaced with busybox sed.
And ncurses' install phase hangs.  I trace it down, and it's trying to run
gawk.  (Insert obligatory doubletake, but this is FSF code we're talking
about, so...)

It turns out gawk shells out to sed, ala "sed -f /tmp/blah file.h".  The
/tmp/blah file is basically empty (it contains one character, a newline).  So
basically, gawk is using sed as "cat".  With gnu sed, it works like cat,
anyway.

With busybox sed, it tests if its command list is empty after parsing the
command line, and if the list is empty it takes the first file argument as a
sed command string, and if that leaves the file list empty it tries to read
the data to operate on from stdin.  (Hence the hang, since nothing's coming
in on stdin...)

It _should_ be testing whether there were any instances of -f or -e, not
whether it actually got any commands.  Using sed as cat may be kind of
stupid, but it's valid and gawk relies on this behavior.

Here's a patch to fix it, turning a couple of ints into chars in hopes of
saving a bit of the space this adds.  Comments?

1219879422 Dont try and preserve hard links to directories.
The linux kernel doesnt allow hard links to directories, SUS says its
implementation specific.
cramfs gives empty directories and 0 length files the same node it
makies it difficult to distinguish from hard links.
