-Bugs that need fixing before the 0.44 release goes out the door:
-
- - "more" doesn't accept " " to scroll by one page when BB_FEATURE_USE_TERMIOS
- is not on.
- - doc / website updates to tell what the real mailing list is for busybox.
- - fix 'cp' (or test suite script) so that it passes the test suite.
-
-These could get done before the 0.44 release if we have time, but we won't
-hold up the 0.44 release just because of these:
+Bugs that need fixing:
+ - 'ln -n' has been disabled for this release, till we can fix a memory
+ corruption bug.
+ - fix 'cp' (or test suite script) so that it passes the last item in
+ the test suite.
- ps dirent race bug (need to stat the file before attempting chdir)
- Make 'ln -s /tmp/file .' work the way GNU ln does (i.e. makes a link to
/tmp/file in the current directory, rather then trying and failing to create
a symlink named "." in the current working directory).
- - Prune sfdisk
- - Graft fdisk
+ - Prune sfdisk, graft in std fdisk instead
-These will be deferred til after 0.44 is released. We will rework these to use
-libc regex functions instead (as per the mailing list discussion):

+Linux 2.4.x kernels
+
+BusyBox 0.46 currently will not work with the Linux 2.4.x kernels.
+I know of the following problems:
+
+1) BusyBox NFS support is broken with 2.4.x (needs to be adjusted for NFSv3 and
+ kernel header changes).
+
+As long as I have BB_FEATURE_NFSMOUNT turned off, everything compiles cleanly
+for me with linux2.4.0test2. I use Debian potato (gcc 2.95.2, GNU libc 2.1.3).
+Of course, as noted above, compiling != working.

* Make insmod actually work
* tftp
* ftp
* group/commonize strings, remove dups (for i18n, l10n)
-* consider making a unified option parser (if it can be done modular, small, etc.)

-----------------------
Policy violation. getgroups uses libc nss, which is unlikely
to be present in an embedded system.
-To be replaced with a busybox local glob routine:
-
- [andersen@slag busybox]$ grep -l glob *.[ch]
- gunzip.c
- gzip.c
- sh.c
- tar.c
- telnet.c
-
-Can check_wildcard_match() from utility.c do this job?

Compile with debugging on, run 'nm --size-sort ./busybox'
