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.

Fix bugs in logger and syslogd. Add fbset. -Erik
1999-12-17 02:29:36 +05:30
* 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).
Sync up busybox with the latest and greatest. This is not stuff for the Embedix release. -Erik
2000-01-16 03:58:50 +05:30
* 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.

This makes tar work perfectly, and adds in "--exclude" as an option -Erik
2000-04-09 20:47:40 +05:30
* expr
Fix a tar bug: tar removed leading '/'s for symlink targets. Fix a syslogd bug: Only the first sizeof(buffer) was read from the /dev/log socket, causing (for most cases) only every other log item to be logged. -Erik
2000-04-15 03:15:29 +05:30
* wget (or whatever I call it)
* tftp
* ftp
A few minor updates. ;-) Seriously though, read the Changelog for busybox 0.42, which this is about to become... -Erik
2000-02-07 10:59:42 +05:30
More documentation updates, and minor fixes to make things sync up with the docs. -Erik
2000-04-15 22:04:54 +05:30
-----------------------
Add a compile option to turn off all the compiled in help
Fix creation of /linuxrc -Erik
2000-04-19 05:02:10 +05:30
and usage information. Some folks don't need or want it...
More documentation updates, and minor fixes to make things sync up with the docs. -Erik
2000-04-15 22:04:54 +05:30
Minor makefile and todo updates -Erik
2000-03-01 03:19:22 +05:30
-----------------------
Compile with debugging on, run 'nm --size-sort ./busybox'
and then start with the biggest things and make them smaller...
Some updates for the day, -Erik
2000-02-19 03:04:17 +05:30
-----------------------
busybox.defs.h is too big and hard to follow.
Tar now works perfectly. It behaves much better now then it used to. Only thing left to do is add in exclude (-X) option. -Erik
2000-04-05 06:30:52 +05:30
Perhaps I need to add a better build system (like the Linux kernel?)
Some updates for the day, -Erik
2000-02-19 03:04:17 +05:30
-----------------------
Fixed du. Now behaves just like GNU du (only less so). -Erik
2000-02-19 23:46:49 +05:30
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).
Add in a TODO item, -Erik
2000-02-22 22:42:00 +05:30

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,
A few updates (including the cp fix the Craig has been looking for) -Erik
2000-03-05 02:49:32 +05:30
-----------------------
I think that the add_inode &c in utility.c needs to also stow the
st_dev field, and that du.c should NOT call `reset_inode_list'
because there can be hard links from inside one argv/ to inside
another argv/. du.c probably ought to have an -x switch like GNU du
does also...
My latest ramblings. -Erik

As a point of reference, here's a slightly tweaked analysis of the
programs on the system I'm reading your mail on. Basically, I ran the
following script...
Q> #!/bin/bash
Q> function use() {
Q> for Z in $* ; do
Q> strings $Z | grep /proc | sed "s=^=$Z ="
Q> done
Q> }
Q> use /{,s}bin/* /usr/{,s}bin/* | sort -u | tee proc-usage
...and then went through it removing comments and print format
strings. Replace /proc with /dev and you'd soon have an equivalent
list for that - although I can report that such is MUCH larger...
There are three programs therein that refer to /proc/mounts ...
/bin/mount
/bin/umount
/usr/bin/eject
...and, as you stated, none that refer to /proc/atm on this system.
However, as this is a RedHat Linux 5.0 based system, that's not
necessarily an up to date reference thereto...
Here's the list anyway...
