Not buying it, eh?
I know I said new features before 1.1, but, well... (I was weak!)
The config file and hotplug modes aren't implemented yet. Might take a stab at
those tomorrow. (I _should_ go back to focusing on the bug triage list.)
messages, C) can show the current association (if any) when called
with only one argument. Update the documentation a lot too.
Remind me to add a test suite for this thing. I think I've figured out
how to handle root-only testsuites...
fixes bug #113 and satisfies a personal need at the same time.
output compares identically to util-linux version. (with
exception of whitespace differences on last lines of output with
non-uniform length, which are neither fixed nor worsened by this
change.)
- 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
./busybox getopt -o one -o 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...
The previous code had the following notes, that belong in the version
control comments:
- * 3/21/1999 Charles P. Wright <cpwright@cpwright.com>
- * searches through fstab when -a is passed
- * will try mounting stuff with all fses when passed -t auto
- *
- * 1999-04-17 Dave Cinege...Rewrote -t auto. Fixed ro mtab.
- *
- * 1999-10-07 Erik Andersen <andersen@codepoet.org>.
- * Rewrite of a lot of code. Removed mtab usage (I plan on
- * putting it back as a compile-time option some time),
- * major adjustments to option parsing, and some serious
- * dieting all around.
- *
- * 1999-11-06 mtab support is back - andersee
- *
- * 2000-01-12 Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>, Borrowed utils-linux's
- * mount to add loop support.
- *
- * 2000-04-30 Dave Cinege <dcinege@psychosis.com>
- * Rewrote fstab while loop and lower mount section. Can now do
- * single mounts from fstab. Can override fstab options for single
- * mount. Common mount_one call for single mounts and 'all'. Fixed
- * mtab updating and stale entries. Removed 'remount' default.

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.
