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. * 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). * 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. -Erik ----------- * Allow tar to create archives with sockets, devices, and other special files * Make insmod actually work * dnsdomainname * traceroute/nslookup/netstat * rdate * hwclock * killall * stty * tr * expr (maybe?) (ash builtin?) Some known bugs, todo items, etc... ----------------------- [andersen@slag busybox]$ ./busybox du /bin 6213 /bin [andersen@slag busybox]$ du /bin 2971 /bin [andersen@slag busybox]$ du --block-size=512 /bin 5943 /bin ----------------------- -rw-r--r-- 1000/1000 4398 2000-01-06 21:55 uniq.c -rw-r--r-- 1000/1000 1568 1999-10-20 18:08 update.c -rw-r----- 0/1000 1168 2000-01-29 21:03 update.o -rw-r--r-- 1000/1000 22820 2000-01-05 11:36 utility.c -rw-r----- 0/1000 7372 2000-01-29 21:03 utility.o tar: Skipping to next file header tar: Skipping to next file header tar: Archive - EOF not on block boundary tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now #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?
