- new bb_getopt_ulflags features: check max and min args, convert first argv to options special for ar and tar applets
- use bb_default_error_retval for env applet
- more long opt compatibility, can set flag for long opt struct now
- more logic: check opt-depend requires and global requires, special for 'id' and 'start-stop-daemon' applets.
./busybox getopt -n one -n two woot

This entire applet is still an enormous pile of garbage, which I can't clean
up because I really have no idea what it's for. (Both "man getopt" and trying
it out on the command line a bit fail to enlighten me. Reading the code, the
fact half of it seems to be special cases for bash vs tcsh does not fill me
with confidence.)
added to the list, and my assumption that nfsmount() actually called
mount() was incorrect (and I coded it wrong anyway; I hate having to touch
codepaths I can't personally test).
can never be made because useMtab is initialized to 0, and all the other
assignments of that variable assign 0 to it. Any compiler that can perform
simple constant propogation on local variables will optimize away if statements
testing against that variable, thus the call to erase_mtab() will never be
made.
When compiling for arm using gcc 3.3.3 with FEATURE_MTAB_SUPPORT disabled,
the linker complains that it can't find erase_mtab(). The arm optimizer isn't
exactly the brightest member of the family, and apparently needs to be hit over
the head with a hammer to get its' attention...
things down a bit, fixed a number of funky corner cases, added support for
several new features (things like mount --move, mount --bind, lazy unounts,
automatic detection of loop mounts, and so on). Probably broke several
other things, but it's fixable. (Bang on it, tell me what doesn't work for
you...)
Note: you no longer need to say "-o loop". It does that for you when
necessary.
Still need to add "user mount" support, which involves making mount suid. Not
too hard to do under the new infrastructure, just haven't done it yet...

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 to all,
This patch is useful for:
1) remove an unused var from extern char *find_real_root_device_name(const char* name)
changing it to extern char *find_real_root_device_name(void).
2) fixes include/libbb.h, coreutils/df.c, util-linux/mount.c and util-linux/umount.c accordingly.
3) fixes a bug, really a false positive, in find_real_root_device_name() that happens if
in the /dev directory exists a link named root (/dev/root) that should be skipped but
is not. This affects applets like df that display wrong results
Hi,
With the following /etc/fstab (any two or more lines of nfs), mount -a
-t nfs causes a segmentation faults.
server:/exports/aaa /mnt/aaa nfs defaults 0 0
server:/exprots/bbb /mnt/bbb nfs defaults 0 0
In util-linux/nfsmount.c, it overwrites malloc'ed pointer *mount_opts
with a static pointer. With this patch it does proper memory realloc
and data copy instead.
Yes, I know busybox is in feature freeze. If this two-liner is too much
that's fine, but it's handy.
This patch allows busybox mount to support "-o move" just like it
supports "-o bind", which is the equivalent of util-linux "mount --move".
Usage is:
mount -o move /mnt/point/1 /mnt/point/2
where /mnt/point/1 is an already mounted filesystem; it will be moved to
/mnt/point/2.
This is a bulk spelling fix patch against busybox-1.00-pre10.
If anyone gets a corrupted copy (and cares), let me know and
I will make alternate arrangements.
Erik - please apply.
Authors - please check that I didn't corrupt any meaning.
Package importers - see if any of these changes should be
passed to the upstream authors.
I glossed over lots of sloppy capitalizations, missing apostrophes,
mixed American/British spellings, and German-style compound words.
What is "pretect redefined for test" in cmdedit.c?
Good luck on the 1.00 release!

Ok. Last patch reduce 73 bytes for compensate (and over) your changes ;-)
Comments:
Added cin_fileno variable, auto setted to 0 from BSS and have "eq" stdin
descriptor if isatty(stout)==0, removed global variable FILE* cin.
Removed default setting to terminal_width/terminal_height, this used
only from main() and setted after call get_terminal_width_height()
always correct.
Variable please_display_more_prompt changed to bits logic, have size
reducing.

I've noticed a bug in the "autowidth" feature more, and is probably in
others. The call to the function get_terminal_width_height() passes
in a file descriptor but that file descriptor is never used, instead
the ioctl() is called with 0. In more_main() the call to
get_terminal_width_height() passes 0 as the file descriptor instead of
fileno(cin). This isn't a problem when you more a file (e.g. "more
/etc/passwd") but when you pipe a file to it (e.g. "cat /etc/passwd |
more") the size of the terminal cannot be determined because file
descriptor 0 is not a terminal. The fix is simple, I've attached a
patch for more.c and get_terminal_width_height.c.

bb_lookup_port now takes 3 parameters but rdate has not been modified
accordingly and fails to compile in the current CVS version.
The modification below fixes the problem.
Now, RFC868 allows both UDP and TCP implementations of the time protocol
so this may not work if someone defines a udp time service other than 37
but who would do that?
function as there is no gracefull way of handling failures.
Rename bb_getport to bb_lookup_port, allow a default port to be
specified so it always returns a correct value.
Modify ftpgetput/rdate/wget to use the new interface.
wget/rdate now use etc/services with a falback default value.
* The "rdate.patch" file makes rdate to NOT settimeofday if the date to be
set equals current date. This prevents the system from experiencing nasty time
discontinuities caused by sub-second changes, with a protocol that has only
over second resolution. Depending on your taste, the "fprintf(stderr..." may be
removed.
it will properly fall back to /proc/mounts when /etc/filesystems
is missing, allowing mount to guess the correct fs type when a
fs type is not explicitly specified.

in order to fix the problems with round robin DNS reported
by Andrew Flegg:
http://busybox.net/lists/busybox/2003-October/009579.html
This removes the ipv6 specific xconnect dns lookups. I do
not see why that would need to be special cased for ipv6 as
was done, but that will just have to be tested.
So IPV6 people -- please test this change!

the busybox menuconfig triggered my "inacceptable number of spelling mistakes"
upper level, so I decided to make a patch ;-)
I also improved some wording to describe some things in a better way.
Many thanks for an incredible piece of software!

Ok. Patch attached.
When using "losetup" the device is always setup as Read-Only.
(I have only tested with the -o flag, but looking at the code the
problem seems general)
The problem is the "opt" variable in "losetup.c" that is reused in
the "set_loop()" call. Clear it before the call and everything is OK;
opt = 0; /* <-------- added line */
if (delete)
return del_loop (argv[optind]) ? EXIT_SUCCESS : EXIT_FAILURE;
else
return set_loop (argv[optind], argv[optind + 1], offset, &opt)
? EXIT_FAILURE : EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

If BusyBox was compiled with -DCONFIG_FEATURE_CLEAN_UP dmesg command
segfaults if invoked with the "-n" option. (Due to a free() of an
uninitialized pointer).
"rootfs" entry as well as the traditional "/dev/root" entry. This caused
applets such as mount and df to display two root filesystem entries....
This teaches the relevant utilities to ignore the "rootfs" entry.

during 'mount -a'. If the user wants to do that, hey, its their
lifs. If the nfs server is down and they don't want to wait for
nfs to time out, that is their problem.

modified Kbuild system I put into uClibc. With this, there should be no more
need to modify Rules.mak since I've moved all the interesting options into the
config system. I think I've got everything updated, but you never know, I may
have made some mistakes, so watch closely.

The following usage from original user:
$ ./busybox swapon -a
Have typo problem:
swapon: swapon: Operation not permitted
But regular version:
swapon: /dev/hda5: Operation not permitted
Patch attached, reduced 9 bytes and advanced
exit code also.
#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.
xconnect helper routine which does:
-address and port resolving
-tries to connect to all resolved addresses until connected
-uses getaddrinfo, so works for IPv6 too
This patch also ports rdate, telnet, and wget to use the new
xconnect function. Thanks Bart!
