Hi to all,
here is a new patch for bb's devfsd. The news are:

1) Size reduction for the basic setup with no options compiled in from :
     text        data     bss     dec       hex   filename
    10591     392      543    11526   2d06 devfsd.o
    rw-r--r--    1 root     root        18536 Dec 18 21:52 devfsd.o

    to:

    text        data     bss     dec        hex  filename
    9303      392      543    10238    27fe devfsd.o
    rw-r--r--    1 root     root        16528 Dec 18 22:02 devfsd.o

   With this setup you should not expect much output from devfsd
    ( just at start or with -v) and if some error occurs it only exits 1.
   To have more output enable:  " Increases logging (and size)" (+1568 b).

2) The option "Adds function names to program output" was removed from config menu
    and now to enable debug output you can use bb's standard option:
    "Build BusyBox with Debugging symbols".
    Be careful as with this option enabled a lot of data are outputted to /dev/log and/or to stderr.

3) A new option: "Enables the -fg and -np option" was added to config menu  (+128 b).

BTW: option "Adds support for MODLOAD keyword in devsfd.conf"  adds 268 b.

4) The following keywords in devsfd.conf are supported:
   "CLEAR_CONFIG", "INCLUDE", "OPTIONAL_INCLUDE", "RESTORE",
   "PERMISSIONS", "EXECUTE", "COPY", "IGNORE",  "MKOLDCOMPAT",
   "MKNEWCOMPAT","RMOLDCOMPAT", "RMNEWCOMPAT".

   But only if they are written UPPERCASE!!!!!!!!

5)Help text in usage.h was modified.

6)Something that I have forgotten..........

I've tested this for the last week on my box and it seems to work as expected.

Thanks in advance and please apply.

Ciao,

Tito

the busybox menuconfig triggered my "inacceptable number of spelling mistakes"
upper level, so I decided to make a patch ;-)

I also improved some wording to describe some things in a better way.

Many thanks for an incredible piece of software!

0a57a79e38 Patch from Steven Scholz:
should we rename the define into CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_HDIO_DMA and
use it for "set" and "get" ???

Since although CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_HDIO_GET_DMA is _not_ set I still
can use "hdparm -d 1 /dev/hda" to switch the DMA on.
Is this desireable or meant to be like that?

So how about the applied patch?

e5642119ee Patch from Thomas Cameron:
Hello all,
	    This patch adds more "Help" text to the config system.  Almost
    all applets now have a help entry.  Also, I cleaned up the spacing of
    the existing text so that things are consistent.  This patch is against
    this morning's CVS.

c9f20d9fb9 Yet another major rework of the BusyBox config system, using the considerably
modified Kbuild system I put into uClibc.  With this, there should be no more
need to modify Rules.mak since I've moved all the interesting options into the
config system.  I think I've got everything updated, but you never know, I may
have made some mistakes, so watch closely.
