I had previously provided you with a patch to help complete busybox's
props suite, but have heard no word back. Sense then I've made use of as
many of busybox's native API settings as I could find and would really
love for you to include support for this. If there is something more I
need to do to get this supported added in please let me know.
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!

Erik,
The format for /proc/meminfo has changed between 2.4 and 2.6, quite considerably.
In addition to the removal of the two-line summary that was present in 2.4,
MemShared was also removed. Presently (at least in busybox CVS HEAD), top fails
to parse this correctly and spews forth a:
top: failed to read 'meminfo'
message. This patch switches around some of the semantics a little to do sane
parsing for both 2.4 and 2.6. Also, in the event that the summary gets yanked
from 2.4, this patch will deal with that as well. With this patch, I'm able
to run top correctly on 2.6.0-test7 (tested on sh).
Please apply.

Hello all,
This patch adds more "Help" text to the config system. Almost
all applets now have a help entry. Also, I cleaned up the spacing of
the existing text so that things are consistent. This patch is against
this morning's CVS.

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.

Ok. I generate patch for include to busybox-devel my work with
top (original author give me maintaining) and telnetd (my
support and unofficial maintaining) applets. Docs changes
also: added awk, netstat, time applets to list ;)
Hi, Erik.
my_getpw(uid/gid) and applets used it have problem:
if username for uid not found, applets can`t detect it
(but code pessent). Also "%8ld " format is bad:
spaces not required (applets have self format
or spec format (tar applet) and overflow for "id" applet...)
This problem also pressent in stable version.
Patch for unstable in attach.

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...

that into a pid_t, which is unsigned on a number archs. Furthermore,
find_pid_by_name() would _never_ return an error if the intended proces
was "init", but instead would return 1, meaning we would fail to work
on 2.4.x kernels running an initrd...

math suport, cleaner math syntax error checking, moves redundant signal
string tables (from kill and ash) into libbb and provides a few
cleanups elsewhere.
make busybox be more uClinux friendly. I also adjusted Config.h for
uClinux so it will automagically disable apps the arn't going to
work without fork() and such.

This way, we can new get rid of all that tedious #define rubbish we used to
need to enable specific messages. This way is enormously simpler, and as a
bonus also ends up saving us 96 bytes.
