-----------
-Bugs that need fixing:
-
- - 'grep foo$ file' doesn't work
- - 'grep *foo file' segfaults
- - ps dirent race bug (need to stat the file before attempting chdir)
-
------------
-
* 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,

+An interesting email listing some apps that use /proc. BusyBox
+tries to avoid /proc as mush as is possible, so this stuff is
+interesting (to me at least):
