depmod
busybox lacks a way to update module deps when running from firmware without the
use of the depmod.pl (perl is to bloated for most embedded setups) and or orig
- modutils. The orig depmod is rather pointless to have to add to a firmware image
+ modutils. The orig depmod is rather pointless to have to add to a firmware image
in when we already have a insmod/rmmod and friends.
Unify base64 handling.
There's base64 encoding and decoding going on in:
This one's open to everybody, but I'll wind up doing it...
-Bernhard Fischer <rep.nop@anon.at>:
- Makefile stuff:
- make -j is broken, -j1 is forced atm
+Bernhard Fischer <busybox@busybox.net> suggests to look at these:
New debug options:
-Wlarger-than-127
+ Cleanup any big users
+ -Wunused-parameter
+ Facilitate applet PROTOTYPES to provide means for having applets that
+ do a) not take any arguments b) need only one of argc or argv c) need
+ both argc and argv. All of these three options should go for the most
+ feature complete denominator.
Collate BUFSIZ IOBUF_SIZE MY_BUF_SIZE PIPE_PROGRESS_SIZE BUFSIZE PIPESIZE
- Use bb_common_bufsiz1?
+ make bb_common_bufsiz1 configurable, size wise.
+ make pipesize configurable, size wise.
+ Use bb_common_bufsiz1 throughout applets!
+ Add chrt applet. Please CC Bernhard if you suggest a patch.
As yet unclaimed:
Make sure we handle empty files properly:
From the patch man page:
- you can remove a file by sending out a context diff that compares
- the file to be deleted with an empty file dated the Epoch. The
- file will be removed unless patch is conforming to POSIX and the
- -E or --remove-empty-files option is not given.

Should have simple fuzz factor support to apply patches at an offset which
And while we're at it, a new patch filename quoting format is apparently
coming soon: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git&m=112927316408690&w=2

+ Add support for both RSS and VSIZE rather than just one or the other.

It would be nice to have a man command. Not one that handles troff or

Architectural issues:
jumps out of the normal flow control and bypasses any cleanup code we
put at the end of our applets.

entries after a checkpoint to be usable for a forkless standalone shell.

- unify itoa: netstat.c, hush.c, lash.c, msh.c
- Put one single, robust version into e.g. safe_strtol.c
+ Move __get_hz() to a better place and (re)use it in route.c, ash.c, msh.c
