or that doing so is even a good idea. It just means that I _might_ get
around to it some time. If you have any good ideas, please let me know.
-* login/sulogin/passwd/getty/etc are part of tinylogin, and so are not
- needed or wanted in busybox (or else I'd have to link to libcrypt).
+* login/sulogin/passwd/etc are part of tinylogin. We are in the
+ process of merging these applications into busybox, since the
+ new build system allows us to add Libraries (i.e. libcrypt),
+ when certain applets are enabled.
* We _were_ going to split networking apps into a new package called
netkit-tiny. Per discussions on the mailing list, this isn't going
to happen. False alarm. Sorry about the confusion.
-* The default busybox shell, lash, is really too weak for serious use,
- although it is possible to run many simple systems with it. BusyBox
- 0.52 now contains a rewritten shell, hush, which understands most
- Bourne grammar, with only about a 4 Kbyte binary size penalty. You can
- engage hush at pre-compile time by "ln -sf hush.c sh.c; touch hush.c".
- Hush is young, and has plenty of bugs to shake out, so think twice before
- using it for production systems. We welcome bug reports and patches.

+libbb/unzip.c and archival/gzip.c have common constant static arrays and
+code for initializing the CRC array. Both use CRC-32 and could use
+common code for CRC calculation. Within archival/gzip.c, the CRC
+array should be malloc-ed as it is in libbb/unzip.c .
