as far as I can tell, are no longer relevant. Modern busybox refuses to
build under libc5 (there's a specific test and #error for that), and
I'm not sure building against 2.1 kernel headers on Alpha was ever relevant.
I'm happy to put any of this back if anybody can point to a real need for it,
but if so we need to specifically document what environment is being
compensated for. (And we should quarrantine the build environment code
into one place, anyway. Maybe "quirks.h" for known compiler and
libc quirks?)
Hi!
I've created a patch to busybox' build system to allow building it in
separate tree in a manner similar to kbuild from kernel version 2.6.
That is, one runs command like
'make O=/build/some/where/for/specific/target/and/options'
and everything is built in this exact directory, provided that it exists.
I understand that applyingc such invasive changes during 'release
candidates' stage of development is at best unwise. So, i'm currently
asking for comments about this patch, starting from whether such thing
is needed at all to whether it coded properly.
'make check' should work now, and one make creates Makefile in build
directory, so one can run 'make' in build directory after that.
One possible caveat is that if we build in some directory other than
source one, the source directory should be 'distclean'ed first.

Hi Erik,
Hi to all,
This is part five of the my_get*id story.
I've tweaked a bit this two functions to make them more flexible,
but this changes will not affect existing code.
Now they work so:
1) my_getpwuid( char *user, uid_t uid, int bufsize)
if bufsize is > 0 char *user cannot be set to NULL
on success username is written on static allocated buffer
on failure uid as string is written to buffer and NULL is returned
if bufsize is = 0 char *user can be set to NULL
on success username is returned
on failure NULL is returned
if bufsize is < 0 char *user can be set to NULL
on success username is returned
on failure an error message is printed and the program exits
2) 1) my_getgrgid( char *group, uid_t uid, int bufsize)
if bufsize is > 0 char *group cannot be set to NULL
on success groupname is written on static allocated buffer
on failure gid as string is written to buffer and NULL is returned
if bufsize is = 0 char *group can be set to NULL
on success groupname is returned
on failure NULL is returned
if bufsize is < 0 char *group can be set to nULL
on success groupname is returned
on failure an error message is printed and the program exits
This changes were needed mainly for my new id applet.
It is somewhat bigger then the previous but matches the behaviour of GNU id
and is capable to handle usernames of whatever length.
BTW: at a first look it seems to me that it will integrate well (with just a few changes)
with the pending patch in patches/id_groups_alias.patch.
The increase in size is balanced by the removal of my_getpwnamegid.c
from libbb as this was used only in previous id applet and by size optimizations
made possible in whoami.c and in passwd.c.
I know that we are in feature freeze but I think that i've tested it enough
(at least I hope so.......).

Updated patch: get rid of syslog_msg entirely. Request from Erik Andersen.

with 2.6.x asm/posix_types.h, which has done singularly evil thing
by yanking __kernel_dev_t and renaming it. The loop interface was
really poorly designed in the first place. The new 64 bit loop
interface looks to be somewhat less horrible, too bad it is only
present in 2.6.x kernels.

Hi.
Last patch have new libbb function
vfork_rexec() for can use daemon() to uClinux system.
This patched daemons: syslog, klogd, inetd, crond.
This not tested! I havn`t this systems.
Also. Previous patch for feature request MD5 crypt password for
httpd don`t sended to this mailist on 07/15/03
(mailist have Pytom module problem?).
The previous patch included, and have testing.

#49: I found one memory overflow and memory leak in "ln" applet.
Last patch reduced also 54 bytes. ;)
#50: I found bug in loginutils/Makefile.in.
New patch have also new function to libbb and
aplied this to applets and other cosmetic changes.
IPV6 support to busybox. This patch does the following:
* Add IPv6 support to libbb
* Enable IPv6 interface address display
* Add IPv6 config option
* Adds ping6, an adaptation of the ping applet for IPv6
* Adds support routines for ping6:
- xgethostbyname2
- create_icmp6_socket
* Adds ifconfig support for IPv6
* Add support IPv6 to netstat
* Add IPv6 support to route
Thanks Bart!
the busybox development tree. This eliminates the use of recursive make, and
once again allows us to run 'make' in a subdirectory with the expected result.
And things are now much faster too. Greatly improved IMHO...
