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"...)
This is a bulk spelling fix patch against busybox-1.00-pre10.
If anyone gets a corrupted copy (and cares), let me know and
I will make alternate arrangements.
Erik - please apply.
Authors - please check that I didn't corrupt any meaning.
Package importers - see if any of these changes should be
passed to the upstream authors.
I glossed over lots of sloppy capitalizations, missing apostrophes,
mixed American/British spellings, and German-style compound words.
What is "pretect redefined for test" in cmdedit.c?
Good luck on the 1.00 release!

Hi,
Well, I made this patch a long time ago (08/2002) because it was a
need of a project, but had no time to send it to you. It adds support
to `autologin' option of the telnet protocol. It has been used since
made with busybox 0.60.3 at production and I had no problems with it.
I have ported it to the HEAD revision of the CVS server (20040211) and
I hope you enjoy and apply it to the official sources. :)
Thanks a lot!
I had previously provided you with a patch to help complete busybox's
props suite, but have heard no word back. Sense then I've made use of as
many of busybox's native API settings as I could find and would really
love for you to include support for this. If there is something more I
need to do to get this supported added in please let me know.
You will find in the attached file "syslog.patch" a patch which adds
config options to set at compile time the size of the circular buffer,
and some documentation update.
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
Dear list,
during my quest do pack busybox into an RPM, I've fixed a small bug
(missing \n) in dc's usage. And added two additional operations: mod and
exp/power.
Feel free to drop them.
Hi Eric
I have written a small patch for the Busybox syslogd. With this patch
one can limit the size of the messagfile. As soon as the limit is
reached the syslogd can rotate or purge the messagefile(s) on his own.
There is no necessity to use an external rotatescript.
Even if logread does something similar, its very handy to have some
messagefile after your box crash.
I wrote this patch initial vor BB 0.6x where no cron daemon was avail.
Now I adapted it for the new Version and i hope it is still useful. At
least I still use it :-)
bye
Arnd
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?
Here's a bunch of fixes for the watchdog app in busybox. This does a
couple of things:
- configurable timer duration (userspace timer duration is
usually configurable within the device drivers themselves).
- run as a daemon
- shutdown the device properly on SIGINT or SIGHUP
- clear the counter immediately instead of sleeping first
as well as updating the usage information. This has also been switched
over to getopt to deal with the optional timer duration specifier.
The changes themselves are harmless and isolated, and I've veried that
this works on sh and x86 without any problems.
- ip route flush
- different usage for telnetd in inetd mode
- changes for the default flags of the ip features
- if no /usr requested, udhcpc should use the script also without /usr.
Apply patch from Ghozlane Toumi to make find smaller by combining
similar error messages
Forward port find -newer support from busybox stable that was
missing from unstable. -Erik.
Fixup usage messages for find. -Erik
Ok. I generate patch for include to busybox-devel my work with
top (original author give me maintaining) and telnetd (my
support and unofficial maintaining) applets. Docs changes
also: added awk, netstat, time applets to list ;)
IPV6 support to busybox. This patch does the following:
* Add IPv6 support to libbb
* Enable IPv6 interface address display
* Add IPv6 config option
* Adds ping6, an adaptation of the ping applet for IPv6
* Adds support routines for ping6:
- xgethostbyname2
- create_icmp6_socket
* Adds ifconfig support for IPv6
* Add support IPv6 to netstat
* Add IPv6 support to route
Thanks Bart!
- Made a new dir loginutils
- Moved all applets from pwd_grp to loginutils
- Added new applets su.c login.c to loginutils
- Made a new dir libpwdgrp
- Moved everything from pwd_grp/libpwd_grp there
- Added shadow.c to libpwdgrp
- Removed dir pwd_grp
- Added usage strings for login and su to usage.h
- Changed main Makefile to reflect the dir rearrangements
[Parts of this patch may overlap with my other two patches]
(bunzip2_main): Read data from standard input if FILE argument is `-' or
omitted.
* include/usage.h (bunzip2_trivial_usage, bunzip2_full_usage): Rewrite.
* testsuite/bunzip2/bunzip2-reads-from-standard-input: New.
Very minimal last corrections:
1) busybox.c: fix warining
2) docs/: add applets for list from pwd_grp
3) usage.h: add -n option for route
4) run_parts.c: many todo fix for busybox style
5) addgroup.c: add #ifdef CONFIG_FEATURE_SHADOWPASSWDS, reduce one
perror_msg
6) adduser.c: fix bug "variable i not initialize" and
add #ifdef CONFIG_FEATURE_SHADOWPASSWDS
Kimdon <dwhedon@gordian.com> on october 7th -- the day I was fired from
Lineo. So it seems I totally forgot about this patch until now.
Sorry about that David!
This code could be improvemed by
1) supporting more options,
2) Creating a shared crc table with gunzip, or perhaps generated on the fly.
3) Removing any remaining unneccessary code (e.g. if (noisy))
There is some optimization that can be done to better use libbb in
these applets. There is also redundancy between stty and getty which
could be eliminated.

missing a \n at the end of the -name line
? getopt_full_usage
the -o line has tab issues, but I didn't fix them.

- TODO xargs -l ?
- docs/autodocifier.pl POD && comment updates
- docs/busybox_footer.pod added Larry Doolittle and Sterling Huxley
- support for ftp downloads
- HTTP basic authentication support (as an optional feature)
- handling of http redirections
- protocol version changed to 1.0 (to stop servers from requesting
chunked encoding)
- bugfix: in the case when content-length not given, wget didn't
download anything
- when attempting to continue an aborted download but server doesn't
support restarts, reopen output file in write mode
- changed assumption that existing file should restart an aborted
download. Now the user must explicitly specify this with -c
