-TODO list for busybox in no particular order. Just because something
-is listed here doesn't mean that it is going to be added to busybox,
-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.
+Busybox TODO
-* 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 in libcrypt).
+Stuff that needs to be done
-* Networking apps are probably going to be split out some time soon into a
- separate package (named perhaps tiny-netkit?). This currently includes
- hostid, hostname, mnc, and ping.
-
-* init's waitfor() calls wait() which can catch and ignore the wrong pid
- exiting. That other process is then not restarted.

-#1 You are storing by id instead of name like normal tar. Did you realize this?
-(or am I missing some compile option? )ctar did not do this, and I don't think
-it's a good idea for LRP.
-
-#2
-ctar did not produce the EOF error like your tar does. I believe you need to
-pad the end of the archive with at least 2 tarsized (512byte) blocks. (I
-think???)
-
-#3
-There is no exclude file(s) option to tar. LRP's packaging system can not
-function without this. Will you have the time to add this soon?
