-----------
-Bugs that need fixing before the 0.44 release goes out the door:
-
- - mkfs.minix rev 1.7 completely broke the parser. Fix it.
- - 'grep foo$ file' doesn't work
- - 'grep *foo file' segfaults
- - ps dirent race bug (need to stat the file before attempting chdir)
- - The following commands segfault:
- chmod -R
- chown -R
- chgrp -R
- - I believe that swaponoff may also be also broken (check it).
- - It used to be that BusyBox tar would happily overwrite existing files on
- an extraction. However, as of 0.42, BusyBox tar simply dies as soon as an
- existing file is found.
- - Make 'mount -a' work even when /proc isn't mounted (ugly bug).
- - 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).
- - implement 'ls -R'.
- - "math" should also take input from stdin
- - "more" doesn't accept " " to scroll by one page when BB_FEATURE_USE_TERMIOS
- is not on.

------------
-
* Make insmod actually work
* dnsdomainname
* traceroute/netstat
* 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'
and then start with the biggest things and make them smaller...
------------------------
-
-busybox.defs.h is too big and hard to follow.
-
-Perhaps I need to add a better build system (like the Linux kernel?)
-
------------------------
-
-Feature request:
-
-/bin/busybox --install -s which makes all links to commands that it
- can support (an optionnal -s should be used for symbolic links instead
- of hard links).
-
------------------------
-
-
-> Have you ever thought of doig network logging in busybox syslogd ? It
-> would quite make sense on embedded systems... :)
-
-So far I had not considered it. Basically, you wish to have
-messages from the embedded box logged to a remote network
-syslog box, right? I can see that this would be useful.
-I'll add this to the TODO list,
