the side of the tree doesn't _COUNT_, and I will not ship it.
Udhcp was deleted shortly after I posted my philosophy for what should and
shouldn't go into busybox:
http://www.busybox.net/lists/busybox/2006-March/019484.html
I complained about the change t the time. I've complained repeatedly since.
But nobody felt like fixing it. External dependencies are something to be
minimized. I don't care about the ability for packages to build outside
busybox: something is either part of busybox, or it isn't. If I convert any
part of the external udhcp repository to use libbb, I've broken the external
package. Any random cleanups that touch that directory suddenly have to worry
about external dependencies that are NOT OUR PROBLEM. Therefore, that
directory is not and cannot be part of busybox. Wishful thinking isn't going
to change that. I will not ship something I can't maintain.
I'll try to get a new dhcp client and server in before the ship window closes,
but I have a half-dozen other projects pending. I'm sorry this happened, but
I'm not the one who removed it, and I'm not the one who ignored the project
maintainer's repeated complaints about the situation for the next month and a
half.
A tab is now taken as the end of filename if it's there, but if it isn't
(because the timestamp isn't there) we continue with the existing untruncated
line as the filename.
produced in the list ten years has some variant of internal error correction
(disks, cdrom, flash), so if it has user-visible bad blocks on it the
hardware has exhausted its remapping reserve and is dying, and you need to get
your data off pronto. (The one exception I can think of is floppies, and I
don't care.)
Currently we have these errors:
./modutils/Config.in: No helptext for 'CONFIG_FEATURE_QUERY_MODULE_INTERFACE'
./networking/Config.in: No helptext for 'CONFIG_IPADDR'
./networking/Config.in: No helptext for 'CONFIG_IPLINK'

in 2.4 (it fetched the same hd_geometry struct only with uint cylinders instead
of ushort cylinders: nothing that big has ever accurately reported gemoetry,
it's all LBA.
Also stop declaring the hd_geometry struct static: it's two chars, a short, and
a long for a grand total of 8 bytes. That can go on the stack.
ls has an ugly bug. ls uses an array of pointers, the elements of
which are all in a linked list. To free the elements, instead of
freeing all the elements in the array, array[0..nelements], it frees
by iterating the linked list starting at array[0], which it assumes is
the head of the list. Unfortunately, ls also sorts the array! So,
array[0] is no longer the head, but somewhere in the middle of the
linked list. This patch fixes this bug, and also adds an
ENABLE_FEATURE_CLEAN_UP stanza.
* Do not initialize globals to 0, it is done automatically
* unsigned short -> uint16_t, unsigned int -> uint32_t
where appropriate (did it ever work on Alphas?)
* triple sync() is silly - removed
* check_zone_nr uses check_zone_nr2 now
* remove trailing periods from messages, uppercase first letter
Make hdparm smaller:
* Make bb_ioctl return the status
* Replace ioctl with bb_ioctl in a few places
* Add bb_ioctl_alt, use where appropriate (four places)
* unsigned char args1[4+512] = {WIN_IDENTIFY,0,0,1,};
