- * added 'renice' command -- thanks to Dave Cinege <dcinege@psychosis.com>
- * 'make install' now creates relative symlinks, and added a new
- 'make install-hardlinks' target to (tada) install hardlinks.
- * syslogd can now log messages to a remote host -- patch thanks

- * Better portability. Now should compile cleanly with libc5,
- GNU libc 2.0 and 2.1, and various Linux kernels including
- 2.0.x, 2.2.x, and to 2.4.0-test*. (patch for 2.4.x kernels
- to make /proc/mounts behave included in the kernel-patches dir).
- * Fixed a _horrible_ bug where 'tar -tvf' could unlink
- local files that matched tarball contents!!! Fix thanks
- to Marius Groeger <mgroeger@sysgo.de>
- * Fixed a nasty bug in tar when could mess up saved symlinks.
- * Fixed tar creation support when reading from stdin ('tar -cf - . ')
- thanks to Daniel Quinlan <quinlan@transmeta.com>
- * Updates to handle Linux 2.4.0 kernels (kludged around the
- "none" entries in /proc/mounts, added a hack to make sysinfo
- work with both old and new kernels).
- * Fixed insmod module option parsing for options lacking an '='.
- Fix thanks to Marc Nijdam <marc_nijdam@hp.com>
- * Fixed segfault with 'cut -f 1 -d:' and added 'cut -s' suport.
- Fix thanks to Arne Bernin <arne@matrix.loopback.org>
- * Several fixes from Marius Groeger <mag@sysgo.de>
- - Added support for "sh -c command args..."
- - Fixed globbing, i.e. 'echo * *' and 'echo "******"' now work.
- - Added shell environment variable substitution
- - Added the "read" shell builtin.
- * Fixed cursor editing in cmdedit.c. The following keyboard sequence
- used to create an infinite loop: ls, cursor up, left, down.
- * Added support for being a login shell, so things like
- '-su' or '-sh' (stuff where argv[0][0]=='-') will now always
- invoke the shell. Now you can use BusyBox as a login shell.
- * ls.c now ignores '-g', since some ftp clients like that sort
- of thing. Patch thanks to David Vrabel <dvrabel@arcom.co.uk>
- * Fix to init.c from Stuart Menefy <Stuart.Menefy@st.com> so that
- it always sets the controlling terminal before running any programs
- * Several fixes from Matt Kraai <kraai@alumni.carnegiemellon.edu>
- - Fixed tr so it recognizes standard escape sequences.
- Merged common escape seq. code from tr and echo into utility.c.
- - Major work in updating/cleaning up the docs, and getting the
- new SGML based docs into shape.
- - cleanup of ar.c
- - BusyBox should now poweroff when asked to do so.
- - Fixed 'ln -n' and 'ln -s' so they both work properly.
- * Reorganized signal names in kill.c for better architecture support
- -- patch thanks to simon wood <simon@mungewell.uklinux.net>
- * In 0.43, backspace and delete worked properly, but with 0.45,
- it just echoed a ^? for backspace, and ^H for control-h. This
- was due to a broken macro in init.c, that is now fixed.
- * Removed sfdisk from BusyBox. It was buggy, fat, and we really
- couldn't maintain it very well, so including it was not really
- very appropriate. Those wanting an fdisk are invited to
- grab a copy from util-linux.
- * Added 'dumpkmap' to allow people to dump a binary keymap, which can
- then be loaded in by 'loadkmap' -- submitted by
- Arne Bernin <arne@matrix.loopback.org>
- * Fixed NFS so it supports 2.4.x kernels and NFSv3.
- * Brand, new versions of grep and sed which use libc regex routines,
- thanks to Mark Whitley <markw@lineo.com>. The hand-tooled
- "regexp.[ch]" files have been removed. Much help on these from
- Matt Kraai as well.

- * Now compiles vs libc5 (which can save lots of space for
- embedded systems).
- * Added BB_FEATURE_TRIVIAL_HELP which compiles out most all of the
- help messages (i.e --help). Saves 17k over a full compile.
- * Added cut and tr from minix, since due to the license change,
- we can now use minix code. Minix tr saves 4k.
- * insmod now works. It costs 29k, but imagine an initrd with a
- staticly linked busybox containing only insmod and sh, a few /dev
- entries, and a kernel module or two... It doesn't get smaller
- then this folks (I pity the fool that writes insmod in asm ;-).
- Many kudos go to Ron Alder <alder@lineo.com> for finishing this off!
- * Added a mini ar archive utility, especially written for BusyBox by
- Glenn McGrath <bug1@netconnect.com.au>
- * Added mktemp, contributed by Daniel Jacobowitz <dan@debian.org>
- * Added setkeycodes, for those that have wierd keyboard buttons.
- * Added md5sum, uuencode and uudecode -- thanks to Alfred M. Szmidt
- <ams@trillian.itslinux.org> for contributing these.
- * Added 'grep -v' option (inverted search) and updated
- docs accordingly. -beppu
- * Wrote which
- * Replaced the telnet implementation with one written by
- Tomi Ollila <too@iki.fi> It works great and costs 3k.
- * BusyBox sh (lash) now supports being used as a standalone shell. When
- BB_FEATURE_SH_STANDALONE_SHELL is defined, all the busybox commands may
- be invoked as shell internals. Best used when compiling staticly
- (i.e. DOSTATIC=true)
- * BusyBox sh (lash) internals now behave as expected wrt pipes
- and redirects.
- * Fixed ping warnings -- fix from Sascha Ziemann <szi@aibon.ping.de>
- * Fixed update segfault
- * Fixed mknod -- minor number was always 0
- * Fixed tar option parsing, so both "tar xvf foo.tar" and
- "tar -xvf foo.tar" now work (i.e. no "-" before options)
- (this was very broken in 0.43).
- * Several contributions from Randolph Chung <tausq@debian.org>.
- * cp/mv now accepts the -f flag
- * tail can now accept -<num> commands (e.g. -10) for better
- compatibility with the standard tail command
- * added a simple id implementation; doesn't support sup. groups yet
- * logname used getlogin(3) which uses utmp. Now it doesn't.
- * whoami used getpwuid(3) which uses libc NSS. Now it behaves.
- * Add support for "noatime" and "nodiratime" mount flags to mount.
- * Changed 'umount -f' to mean force, and actually use umount2.
- * Changed 'umount -l' to mean "Do not free loop device".
- * Fixed basename to support stripping of suffixes. Patch thanks
- to xiong jianxin <jxiong@uiuc.edu>
- * cp -fa now works as expected for symlinks (it didn't before)
- * zcat now works (wasn't working since option parsing was broken)
- * Renamed "mnc" to the more correct "nc" (for netcat).
- * Makefile intelligence updates
- * Changed the way init parses /etc/inittab entries to avoid problems
- with commands that contain colons in them. Fix thanks to
- Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
- * Fixed a warning in utility.c due to char being unsigned on Linux/PPC,
- Fix thanks to Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
- * Made "killall" complain (not error and exit) about processes that it
- cannot find by name -- Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
- * Fixed more and ps to have sensible terminal width defaults, thanks
- to Pavel Roskin.
- * Fixed all fatalError() calls lacking a "\n", thanks to Pavel Roskin.
- * Fixed a segfault in yes when no args were given -- Pavel Roskin.
- * Simplified freeramdisk and added argument checking -- Pavel Roskin.
- * Fixed segfault caused by "touch -c"
- * Fixed segfault caused by "rm -f"
- * Fixed segfault caused by "ln -s -s" and similar abuses. Further fixes
- and "--" support from Pavel Roskin.
- * Fixed segfault caused by "cp -a -a" and similar abuses.
- * Implemented "rm -- <foo>". Implementation fixed by Pavel Roskin.
- * "which" rewritten to use stat(). Fixes to improve its compatability
- with traditional implementations -- Pavel Roskin.
- * "mount" now reports errors from nfsmount() and assumes NFS mount
- if ':' is present in the device name - Pavel Roskin
- * Fixed exit status for killall - Pavel Roskin
- * Fixed 'swapon -a' and 'swapoff -a', which were broken.
- * Fixed 'mount -a' so it works as expected.
- * Implemented 'ls -R' (enabled by enabling BB_FEATURE_LS_RECURSIVE)
- * Implemented "ping -s", fixed error messages and argument parsing -
- Pavel Roskin
- * Syslogd will not go to background if "-n" is given. Better help
- and argument checking -- Pavel Roskin
- * Fixed a small bug that could cause tar to emit warning messages
- and not extract the first file in a directory in some cases
- of nested directories. Thanks to Kevin Traas <kevin@netmaster.com>
- for helping track this one down.
- * More doc updates
- * Fixed grep "Line too long" problem -- John Beppu
- * Fixed 'grep -q -i B some_file' so it works
- * math takes input from stdin if no args are given. -- John Beppu
- * math was renamed to dc. Although it deviates from dc's behaviour,
- this will probably be remedied in the future. -- John Beppu

-0.44
- Previously, an erronous announcement of BusyBox 0.44 was made, so to
- avoid possible confusion, we are skipping straight to 0.45, and calling
- it good.
-
- -Erik Andersen
-
-
-0.43
- * Major update to the provided documentation.
- * 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...)
- * Busybox can now work perfectly when /proc is disabled, thereby
- 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.
- * Wrote basename, dirname, killall, and uptime.
- * 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.
- * 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.
- * Added tr from John Lombardo <john@deltanet.com>
- * Added echo and test (from me).
- * Added usleep contributed by Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org>
- * BusyBox's bss size has been majorly reduced (was 384668, is now 28740).
- * Several fixes from Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>:
- - 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>
- * 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
- Friedrich Vedder <fwv@myrtle.lahn.de> for the fix.
- * 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.
- * 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.
- - Syslogd now supports multiple concurrent connections
- * Several fixes from Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>:
- - 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>.
- * Fixed a bug where "sed 's/foo/bar/g'" (i.e. a script w/o a "-e")
- * ps now supports BB_FEATURE_AUTOWIDTH, and can adjust its width
- to match the terminal (defaults to width=79 when this is off).
- * ps now accepts (and ignores) all options except for "--help" (which
- as would be expected displays help).
- * Fixed mount'ing loop devices when the filesystem type was not
- specified. It used to revert to non-loop after the first try.
- * 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.
- * Fix "+" parsing bug in date, from "Merle F. McClelland" <mfm@cts.com>.
- * Fix symlink following bug in chmod -R and friends.
- * Now allows SYSV style 'chown foo:bar' in addition to 'chown foo.bar'
- * Fixed a bug in the busybox globbing routine such that 'find /dir -name [i]'
- no longer segfaults.

-
- * 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
- * Added a bunch of functions to mtab.c to interact with the
- {get,set,end}mntent interface; as it turns out, those functions do
- not appear to be re-entrant, and that causes a lot of problems with
- the way umount was originally written.
- * Makes init send TERM and KILL (instead of HUP and KILL) on reboot
- to be more consistent with sysvinit
- * Changes to init.c to use the new -r option to umount. Also increased
- the sleep time between the time the TERM and KILL signals are sent
-
- - Randolph Chung
-
-
- * cp.c, mv.c: removed, replaced by cp_mv.c which has been
- extensively rewritten from the original cp.c.
- * Fixed cp and mv so if the source and destination are a the
- same directory it will print an error and continue.
- * 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.
- * include<sys/param.h>: and use PATH_MAX everywhere. busybox: File
- * name buffer overrun guards to prevent future crashes.
- - Always check exit status.
- - Purge all use of `creat()', replace with `open()'.
- * utility.c
- - recursiveAction was overriding the value of followLinks thus
- ignoring it.
- - 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.
-
- -Karl M. Hegbloom
-
-
- * changed fsck_minix.c to reduce its .bss size significantly
- -beppu -piptigger
- * 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
- certain directories pointed to by symlinks.
- * Made grep and grep -h do the right thing wrt printing
- the file name (it failed to print files names in many cases).
- * Fix a namespace aliasing problem wereby if du was built in, the
- symlink for both du and dutmp would be installed, or then rm was
- built in, the symlinks for both rm and rmmod would be installed.
- * 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>
- for the kernel init chroot patch by Werner Almesberger, which
- allows init to chroot to a new device, and umount the old one.
- * Fixed bug that wouldn't let one chown a symlink -- it would
- always dereference before. -beppu
- * Fixed a bug where init could have reference already freed memory.
- Found and fixed by Taketoshi Sano <kgh12351@nifty.ne.jp>
- * Several contributions from Friedrich Vedder <fwv@myrtle.lahn.de>
- * Added (and documented) "-n" option for head
- * Cleanup for a number of usage messages -- also
- contributed Friedrich Vedder <fwv@myrtle.lahn.de>
- * Cosmetic fix to busybox.c (Don't print a comma at the
- end of line if there are no more application names).
- * Fixed a stupid bug in "head" option handling ("head -n"
- would segfault).
- * 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
- 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
- BB_FEATURE_SIMPLE_TAIL in busybox.defs.h
- * 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.
- * 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.
- * Several fixes from Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>:
- - `chown' with 1 argument displayed the error incorrectly
- - `fdflush', `length' and `printf' crashed if run without arguments
- - `fdflush' tried to flush itself using *argv
- - added "skip" and "seek" to dd.
- - ls no longer messus up output when combining files and
- directories on the command line
- * 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.
- 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.
- * 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.

- * New Apps: wc, hostid, logname, tty, whoami, yes -- all contributed
- by Edward Betts <edward@debian.org>
- * Fixed a bug in both cp and mv preventing 'cp foo/README bar'
- type commands (file in a directory to another directory) from
- working.
- * Fixed a logger bug that caused garbage to be written to the syslog
- (unless you used busybox syslog, which hid the bug). Thanks to
- Alex Holden <alex@linuxhacker.org> for the fix.
- * /bin/true and /bin/false were echoing a blank line when run.
- Now fixed.
- * mkdir -p would print an error when asked to mkdir an existing dir
- with no interveining subdirectories.
- * Fixed "syslogd -O" so that it works. Added -o loop option for mount,
- * and support in umount for loop
- devices. Support is toggled by MOUNT_LOOP feature -- Ben Collins
- <bcollins@debian.org>
- * Several fixes from Marco Pantaleoni <panta@prosa.it> compile in
- * fullWrite() not only if BB_TAR is defined, but also
- if BB_CP or BB_MV are (fullWrite() is referenced by copyFile())
- * add some compiler optimizations to further reduce executable size
- (as a side note, on my machines the largest code is generated
- by gcc 2.95.2 with -Os ! The smallest by plain gcc 2.7.2.3 with
- -O2 -m386 ...)
- * Compile now won't fail if busybox.def.h defines
- BB_FEATURE_LINUXRC but not BB_INIT. (init_main used to be
- referenced, but not compiled)
- * Fixed a bug in setting TERM for serial console support. TERM now
- defaults to "ansi" for serial consoles.
- * Fixed a bug in handling the CONSOLE env. variable for serial
- * consoles.

- * fbset contributed by Randolph Chung <tausq@debian.org>. New App::
- * loadacm contributed by Peter Novodvorsky <petya@logic.ru>
- for loading application character maps for Unicode fonts.
- * Major init re-work. init now supports inittab (slightly different
- 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
- 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
- * Re-worked the source tree a bit so it will compile under glibc 2.0.7
- with the 2.0.x Linux kernel.
- * Added 'grep -q' thanks to a patch from "Konstantin Boldyshev"
- <konst@voshod.com>.
- * Grep -i previously failed on UPPER CASE patterns due to a silly
- regexp implementation bug that is now fixed.
- * 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.
- * Fixed a bug where tar would not restore the time to files. Fixed a
- * major security problem with tar -- it changed ownership
- of any file pointed to by a symlink to 777 (like say libc....)
- Ouch!!!
- * cp and mv were very broken when moving directories. I have rewritten
- them so they should now work as expected.
- * sed now supports addresses (numeric or regexp, with negation) and
- has an append command, thanks to Marco Pantaleoni <panta@prosa.it>
- * Fixed dmesg. It wasn't parsing its options (-n or -s) properly.
- * Some cosmetic fixes to ls output formatting to make it behave more
- like GNU ls.
- * Fixed a stupid segfault in kill. Several fixes from Friedrich Vedder
- * <fwv@myrtle.lahn.de>:
- - Added gunzip -t, removed gunzip.c dead code,
- - fixed several typos
- - Glibc 2.0.7 and libc5 compile fixes

- * New Apps: ping, hostname, and mkfifo contributed by Randolph Chung
- <tausq@debian.org>. 3 items off the TODO list!
- * 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.
- * on reboot, init called 'umount -a -n', which caused errors
- when BB_MTAB was not enabled. Changed to 'umount -a', which does
- the right thing.
- * init will now try to run /sbin/getty if it is present (for easy
- integration with the about-to-be-released tinylogin.)
- * kill now behaves itself properly, added 'kill -l' to list signals 'ls
- * -l' was failing on long directories, since my_getid was leaking
- one file descriptor per file. Oops.
- * Fixed rebooting from init. I'd accidently left some debugging code
- * in
- which blocked reboots.
- * Fixed reboot, halt (and added poweroff) such that they handle it when
- init is not at PID 1 (like when running in an initrd).
- * Added a prelinary du implementation. Some parameter parsing
- stuff still needs to be added. -beppu (John Beppu
- <beppu@lineo.com>)

- * Fixed a segfault in 'umount -a' when a badly formed /etc/fstab
- file existed.
- * df will not exit on error, but will stat all mounted filesystems.
- * Fixed tar so uid/gid/permissions on extracted tarballs will be
- correct.
- * 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.
- * Added klogd to syslogd, so now the log will contain both system and
- kernel messages.
- * syslogd now creates the /dev/log socket to make sure it is there, and
- is actually a socket with the right permissions.
- * 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.

-0.37
- * 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.
- * 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
- last file in the list.
- * 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.
- * Also added a TODO.

- if= and of= are set (fix thanks to Eric Delaunay).
- * Don't try to close the file descriptor of a pipein tar. (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.
- * Updated install.sh to make it more robust (thanks to Adam Di Carlo)
- * NFS support added to mount by Eric Delaunay. It costs 10k when
- * compiled
- in, but that is still a big win for those that use NFS.
- * Made 'rm -f' be silent for non-existant files (thanks to Eric
- * Delaunay). changed zcat.c to gunzip.c. It now obeys the principle

- * Fixed a bug in mv which caused it to not move files when the
- * destination
- was a directory.
- * Fixed a decimal-instead-of-octal bug causing mkdir to make
- * directories
- with very wrong permissions.
- * chmod would overwrite file permissions instead of modifying them.
- Now it properly modifies permissions.
- * 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.

- * 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
- * General usage (i.e. --help) cleanups for most apps umount now parses
- * options correctly 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

- * init now properly handles sparc serial consoles and does a

- /dev/console which doesn't support job control. Patch also thanks
- to Eric Delaunay.
- * more started to read from stdin after the last file was finished, and
- options were not parsed correctly (fix thanks to Eric Delaunay).
- * more will now use the terminal size if BB_FEATURE_AUTOWIDTH is on.
- * 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

- * usage() now prints the BusyBox version. This will help folks
- realize that they are not in Kansas anymore.
- * 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
- 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>.

- * Added in optional _real_ regular expression support (to be
- the basis for a future sed utility). When compiled in it adds
- 3.9k, but makes grep much more capable.
- * 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.

- Major changes -- lots of stuff rewritten. Many thanks to Lineo for
- paying me to make these updates. If you have any problems with busybox,
- 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...

+Patch from Andrew Flegg:
+
+ Here's a pretty crude patch to reload /etc/inittab when init receives a
+ SIGHUP. The mailing list archives weren't entirely clear on whether or
+ not it should already happen, but didn't appear to be.
+
+ The patch:
+ * Adds a new function, reload_signal() which just calls
+ parse_inittab() and run_actions(RESPAWN)
+
+ * Before entering the while (1) loop set up SIGHUP to call
+ reload_signal()
+
+ * Modify new_init_action to skip the action if the same command
+ already exists on the same terminal
+
+ This last bit means that changing already running entries is a bit
+ hairy as you can end up with, for example, two shells running on the
+ same virtual console. However, for solely adding/removing entries this patch
+ seems to work quite well.

+
+I've found a possible bug in libbb/interface.c, in function
+if_readlist_proc(). This function calls get_name(), and passes
+as an argument 'name', a buffer of 16 bytes (IFNAMSIZ). The
+function get_name(), however, may use more than 16 bytes,
+when it is searching for aliases. Even if you don't have an
+alias interface, you can run into trouble if the interface
+has received more than 99999999 bytes, in which case the
+space between the interface name and the rx stats
+disappears, as in the /proc/net/dev example below:
+ wan0.200:264573315 462080 ...
+In this case get_name() correctly identifies the interface name
+as "wan0.200", but to do that it uses 18 bytes of the 'name'
+buffer, which could lead to an unpredictable error.
+
+A simple solution would be to increase the size of the buffer:

+I found the problem, I said that no user process use old root when run
+my scripts, but
+I'm wrong, actually there is a '3' fd open the file
+"/old_root/dev/console". By adding
+debug message in init/init.c, I found the problem: when init restart(in
+exec_signal()),
+before open the new terminal device, there is still a file opened(I
+don't know which file it is), so the
+terminal device(stdin) get fd '1', and the first dup(0)(stdout) return
+'2', the second(stderr) return '3'.
+
+I attach a simple patch to solve this problem.
