| - | Development Version |
| + | Preparing for a new Stable Series. Because so amazingly much has changed |
| + | since the last stable series (but mostly because I am feeling too lazy to |
| + | spend the next hour writing up a list of everything new and different), |
| + | I'll stick with a simple summary. |
| + | *) Many many new applets have been added. |
| + | *) We have an entirely new configuration system based on |
| + | the Linux kernel config system. |
| + | *) Most applets have more features, more configurable options, |
| + | and are more standards compliant. |
| - | New Applets: |
| - | * Erik Andersen -- Merged several applets from tinylogin, |
| - | namely adduser, addgroup, deluser, delgroup, getty. |
| - | * Robert Griebl <[email protected]> |
| - | -- reimplemented tinylogin applets: su, login |
| - | -- added hwclock |
| - | -- added uncompress |

| - | 0.60.1 |
| - | |
| - | Stable Release |
| - | |
| - | |
| - | New Applets & New Features: |
| - | none. :) |
| - | |
| - | Known Problems (to be fixed in 0.60.2) |
| - | * msh can segfault on constructs such as |
| - | for i in `ls *.c` ; do echo $i ; done |
| - | due to a memory allocation problem. This only seems to cause |
| - | problems when the backtick expands to be several k in size. |
| - | |
| - | |
| - | Bugfixes: |
| - | * Matt Kraai |
| - | -- Fixed msh to support underscores in variable names. |
| - | -- Fixed a sed problem with unsatisfied backrefs (the problem was |
| - | noted by Martin Bene). |
| - | -- Removed CONFIG_SH define entirely. Now one simply picks the shell |
| - | or shells they want as CONFIG_<foo> in Config.h |
| - | -- Fixed head to use ferror(3) to check for errors, not errno. |
| - | * Shu-Hao Chang <[email protected]> |
| - | -- Fixed sed handling of multiple -e commands |
| - | * Magick <[email protected]> |
| - | -- Fixed an init bug with AskFirst and /dev/null |
| - | * Jaspreet Singh <[email protected]> |
| - | -- Fixed both a segfault and cosmetic bug in route |
| - | * Erik Andersen |
| - | -- Made the insmod options CONFIG_FEATURE_NEW_MODULE_INTERFACE and |
| - | CONFIG_FEATURE_OLD_MODULE_INTERFACE mutually exclusive |
| - | -- xgetcwd.c now includes sys/param.h to ensure PATH_MAX is defined |
| - | -- Fixed a potential segfault with lash + CONFIG_FEATURE_CLEAN_UP |
| - | -- Removed uint64_t from dos2unix, avoiding C lib compat. problems. |
| - | * Glenn McGrath |
| - | -- Rewrite of tftp (commands match atftp, accepts -b, can use |
| - | non-standard ports, and is smaller). |
| - | -- Fixed unarchive exclude list handling |
| - | * Manuel Novoa III |
| - | -- rewrite of simplify_path so it behaves itself (fixing some |
| - | problems with mount and other applets). |
| - | -- Fixed ifconfig 'broadcast +' handling and disabled it by default |
| - | * Matthias ? <[email protected]> |
| - | -- Fixed syslogd to log all messages from a single connection, not |
| - | just the first. |
| - | |
| - | |
| - | -Erik Andersen, 23 August 2001 |
| - | |
| - | |
| - | 0.60.0 |
| - | |
| - | Note: |
| - | |
| - | For this release I have bumped the version number to 0.60.0. This |
| - | reflects the fact that this release is intended to form a new stable |
| - | BusyBox release series. If you need to rely on a stable version of |
| - | BusyBox, you should plan on using the stable 0.60.x series. If bugs |
| - | show up then I will release 0.60.1, then 0.60.2, etc... This is also |
| - | intended to deal with the fact that the BusyBox build system will be |
| - | getting a major overhaul for the next release and I don't want that to |
| - | break products that people are shipping. To avoid that, the new build |
| - | system will be released as part of a new BusyBox development series |
| - | that will have some not-yet-decided-on odd version number. Once things |
| - | stabablize and the new build system is working for everyone, then I |
| - | will release that as a new stable release series. |
| - | |
| - | Critical Bugfixes: |
| - | * Matt Kraai |
| - | -- Fixed wget output file opening (wget failed in 0.52). |
| - | -- Fixed a memory leak in syslogd (found by Adam Slattery). |
| - | * Vladimir Oleynik, Matt Kraai, Erik Andersen |
| - | -- several nasty bugs in ash and msh. msh could not assign |
| - | any variables and had debug code still enabled. ash |
| - | had several compile errors (depending on selected options) |
| - | and variable assignment problems as well. |
| - | |
| - | New Applets: |
| - | * David McCullough <[email protected]> -- modprobe |
| - | * Vladimir Oleynik -- traceroute |
| - | * Erik Andersen -- pidof |
| - | |
| - | New Scripts: |
| - | * David Schleef, Erik Andersen, Stuart Hughes -- depmod.pl |
| - | This is a replacement for the depmod program from the modutils |
| - | package, but is fully cross platform and is designed to run on |
| - | your host system (not on the target). |
| - | |
| - | Other Changes: |
| - | * Erik Andersen |
| - | -- fixed busybox.spec so it should now work on redhat systems |
| - | -- fixed dos2unix and unix2dos so they should work once again |
| - | -- Adjustments to make busybox more uClinux friendly. Busybox |
| - | should now work on uClinux systems without needing and source |
| - | code changes (applets that won't work on uClinux systems are |
| - | now automagicaly disabled). |
| - | -- various things (cleanups, libc compatibility work, etc, etc) |
| - | * Jim Gleason <[email protected]> |
| - | -- Fixed for sed, where it failed to preserve whether or not the |
| - | line was previously altered when running a subst command. |
| - | * Matt Kraai |
| - | -- Made tar read 20 512byte blocks at a time (like GNU tar) |
| - | -- Allow msh.c assignments with the export and readonly commands. |
| - | -- Added CONFIG_FEATURE_DEVFS to enable devfs device names. |
| - | -- Better devfs support |
| - | -- Don't save/restore vi readonly flag if vi is compiled read-only. |
| - | -- Reworked rdate option handling (is now smaller). |
| - | -- Size reduction in ping |
| - | -- Always write dd counts to stderr |
| - | -- Allow multiple shells to be enabled |
| - | * Aaron Lehmann |
| - | -- slimmed down md5sum |
| - | -- contributed a nice new (hand written, not lex/yacc) Posix math |
| - | support for ash, which is once again a full posix shell. |
| - | * Felix von Leitner <[email protected]> -- patches to make busybox |
| - | work with dietlibc. |
| - | * David McCullough |
| - | -- Adjustments to make busybox more uClinux friendly |
| - | * Glenn McGrath |
| - | -- Fixed gzip so when a filename is '-' it will use stdin/stdout |
| - | -- dpkg rewrite. Should now be compatable with the real dpkg, |
| - | but needs more testing. |
| - | -- Updates to archiving tools (gunzip/gzip/cpio/ar/etc) |
| - | -- Rewrote uuencode, will allow base64 encoding to be used by wget |
| - | * Vladimir Oleynik |
| - | -- Fixed tr to support 'tr a-z A-Z' syntax, |
| - | -- Many ash corrections, optimizations, and cleanups. |
| - | -- optimizations for traceroute, md5sum, chown, ping |
| - | -- cmdedit updates and API change |
| - | -- Namespace cleanup (i.e. adding 'static' private function calls) |
| - | -- added "stopped jobs" warning to ash on exit |
| - | * Adam Slattery |
| - | -- Fixed ping compile problem |
| - | * Robert J. Osborne <[email protected]> |
| - | -- fixed a vi bug with delete and escape sequences on empty files. |

| - | |
| - | |
| - | |
| - | 0.52 |
| - | |
| - | Critical Bugfixes: |

| - | only supports unpacking the ascii cpio format. |
| - | * Vladimir Oleynik and Erik Andersen -- added ash, the most correct |
| - | busybox shell. |
| - | * Larry Doolittle -- hush, small shell designed specifically |
| - | for busybox. Quite usable but still a work in progress. |

| - | |
| - | |

| - | return EXIT_SUCCESS or EXIT_FAILURE to the system. |
| - | Now TRUE and FALSE are set to the C standard where TRUE=1. |
| - | * me -- Fixed uname problem causing the kernel version to be |
| - | mis-detected (causing problems with poweroff, init, |
| - | and other things). |
| - | * Alcove, Julien Gaulmin <[email protected]> and |
| - | Nicolas Ferre <[email protected]> -- insmod support on ARM |
| - | and StrongArm, and suport for lsmod on older 2.0.x kernels. |
| - | * Kent Robotti -- Renamed unrpm to original rpmunpack, so you can use |
| - | an included shell script called unrpm as a front end to it. There's |
| - | also a shell script called undeb included for debian packages. |
| - | * Matt Kraai -- fix an infinite loop with ls -aR |
| - | * Larry Doolittle -- Shaved off about 100 bytes and 200 bytes heap |
| - | from date.c. Also document the "-d" option in the usage message. |
| - | * Gennady Feldman -- fixed dd to use blocksize when reading/writing, |
| - | (it was reading the whole thing and then writing it out). Also |
| - | updated usage information (was missing conv=notrunc) and added |
| - | conv=sync feature. |
| - | * Larry Doolittle (in collaboration with Matt Kraai) -- allow for a |
| - | pristine source directory -- where all the .o files and such are |
| - | not placed into the source tree. Thanks Larry! |
| - | * Larry Doolittle -- use the applet definitions in applets.h |
| - | to autogenerate the applet function and usage prototypes. |
| - | * Sebastien Huet, Arne Bernin, and Kent Robotti -- Add in tar -X and |
| - | fixed a bug breaking tar --exclude. |
| - | * Jonas Holmberg -- echo option handling made GNU-echo compatible |
| - | * Aleksey Demidov <[email protected]> -- date option handling made |
| - | GNU-date compatible |
| - | * me -- Progress meter (optional) in wget |
| - | * Doolittle/me -- programs invoked by full path name take |
| - | precedence over applets unless CONFIG_FEATURE_SH_BUILTINS_ALWAYS_WIN |
| - | * Gaute B Strokkenes <[email protected]> -- applets found using a |
| - | binary search instead of linear search. Much faster! |
| - | * new applets: cmp readlink |
| - | * Mark Whitley -- Removed advertising clause of Berkeley license |
| - | according to decision by the Regents of the University of |
| - | California; included reference |
| - | * tail's confusing special treatment of single digit options removed; |
| - | people should use -n instead |
| - | * Larry Doolittle -- \r handled now in echo and tr |
| - | * Matt Kraai -- rewrite of uniq |
| - | * Mark Whitley -- remix of xargs |
| - | * Jim Gleason <[email protected]> -- fixed tar so it no longer breaks |
| - | hard links. |
| - | * Matt Kraai -- logger now logs all arguments, not just the first |
| - | * Gennady Feldman -- syslogd no longer logs to localhost if compiled |
| - | for remote logging... |
| - | * Richard June <[email protected]> -- support for 'gzip -d' |
| - | * various artists -- Other good stuff that I forgot to document. |

| - | |
| - | 0.47 |
| - | |
| - | * A bug in syslogd was fixed that allowed it to potentially fork-bomb |
| - | your system. Anyone using 0.46 syslogd should upgrade. |
| - | * Renamed busybox.defs.h to the more sensible "Config.h" |
| - | * Improved portability between different libcs. |
| - | * Many apps ported to use getopt() |
| - | * Common handling of '--help' |
| - | * All usage messages centralized. |
| - | * Added a bunch of new commands: |
| - | * 'rdate' contributed by Sterling Huxley <[email protected]> |
| - | * 'wget' contributed by Chip Rosenthal <[email protected]>, |
| - | <[email protected]> and Covad Communications |
| - | * 'getopt' from "Alfred M. Szmidt" <[email protected]> |
| - | * dos2unix, unix2dos, reset, and unrpm.c (and lots of help |
| - | debugging) thanks to Kent Robotti <[email protected]>. |
| - | * 'renice' command, thanks to Dave Cinege <[email protected]> |
| - | * 'xargs' (written by me) |
| - | * 'expr' contributed by Edward Betts <[email protected]>, based |
| - | on GNY expr |
| - | * lsmod now uses the query_module syscall, rather then /proc (me) |
| - | * syslogd can now log messages to remote hosts -- patch thanks |
| - | to Gyepi Sam <[email protected]> |
| - | * chroot can now call the builtin shell - Pavel Roskin <[email protected]> |
| - | * 'make install' now creates relative symlinks, and added a new |
| - | 'make install-hardlinks' target to (tada) install hardlinks. |
| - | * Rewrite of 'tail' to make it simpler, smaller, and more robust. |
| - | It now weighs only 2.25k (3k when full featured). The code is |
| - | cleaner too, thanks to Allen Soard <[email protected]> |
| - | * Add optional ls file sorting, thanks to a patch from |
| - | Sterling Huxley <[email protected]> |
| - | * Fixed chmod option parsing so things like 'chmod -r /tmp/file' |
| - | now work (previously it thought -r was an option). Doh! |
| - | * Fixed tar handling of stdin and stdout |
| - | * Renamed "internal.h" to the more sensible "busybox.h" |
| - | * Preliminary support for GNU HURD. |
| - | * Updated my devps and devmtab kernel patches for the latest 2.2.x |
| - | kernel, for those wanting to go proc-less. |
| - | * Tons of other bugfixes. |
| - | |
| - | |
| - | -Erik Andersen, 25 September 2000 |
| - | |
| - | |
| - | 0.46 |
| - | |
| - | * Better portability. Now should compile cleanly with libc5, |
| - | GNU libc 2.0 and 2.1, and various Linux kernels including |
| - | 2.0.x, 2.2.x, and to 2.4.0-test*. (patch for 2.4.x kernels |
| - | to make /proc/mounts behave included in the kernel-patches dir). |
| - | * Fixed a _horrible_ bug where 'tar -tvf' could unlink |
| - | local files that matched tarball contents!!! Fix thanks |
| - | to Marius Groeger <[email protected]> |
| - | * Fixed a nasty bug in tar when could mess up saved symlinks. |
| - | * Fixed tar creation support when reading from stdin ('tar -cf - . ') |
| - | thanks to Daniel Quinlan <[email protected]> |
| - | * Updates to handle Linux 2.4.0 kernels (kludged around the |
| - | "none" entries in /proc/mounts, added a hack to make sysinfo |
| - | work with both old and new kernels). |
| - | * Fixed insmod module option parsing for options lacking an '='. |
| - | Fix thanks to Marc Nijdam <[email protected]> |
| - | * Fixed segfault with 'cut -f 1 -d:' and added 'cut -s' suport. |
| - | Fix thanks to Arne Bernin <[email protected]> |
| - | * Several fixes from Marius Groeger <[email protected]> |
| - | - Added support for "sh -c command args..." |
| - | - Fixed globbing, i.e. 'echo * *' and 'echo "******"' now work. |
| - | - Added shell environment variable substitution |
| - | - Added the "read" shell builtin. |
| - | * Fixed cursor editing in cmdedit.c. The following keyboard sequence |
| - | used to create an infinite loop: ls, cursor up, left, down. |
| - | * Added support for being a login shell, so things like |
| - | '-su' or '-sh' (stuff where argv[0][0]=='-') will now always |
| - | invoke the shell. Now you can use BusyBox as a login shell. |
| - | * ls.c now ignores '-g', since some ftp clients like that sort |
| - | of thing. Patch thanks to David Vrabel <[email protected]> |
| - | * Fix to init.c from Stuart Menefy <[email protected]> so that |
| - | it always sets the controlling terminal before running any programs |
| - | * Several fixes from Matt Kraai <[email protected]> |
| - | - Fixed tr so it recognizes standard escape sequences. |
| - | Merged common escape seq. code from tr and echo into utility.c. |
| - | - Major work in updating/cleaning up the docs, and getting the |
| - | new SGML based docs into shape. |
| - | - cleanup of ar.c |
| - | - BusyBox should now poweroff when asked to do so. |
| - | - Fixed 'ln -n' and 'ln -s' so they both work properly. |
| - | * Reorganized signal names in kill.c for better architecture support |
| - | -- patch thanks to simon wood <[email protected]> |
| - | * In 0.43, backspace and delete worked properly, but with 0.45, |
| - | it just echoed a ^? for backspace, and ^H for control-h. This |
| - | was due to a broken macro in init.c, that is now fixed. |
| - | * Removed sfdisk from BusyBox. It was buggy, fat, and we really |
| - | couldn't maintain it very well, so including it was not really |
| - | very appropriate. Those wanting an fdisk are invited to |
| - | grab a copy from util-linux. |
| - | * Added 'dumpkmap' to allow people to dump a binary keymap, which can |
| - | then be loaded in by 'loadkmap' -- submitted by |
| - | Arne Bernin <[email protected]> |
| - | * Fixed NFS so it supports 2.4.x kernels and NFSv3. |
| - | * Brand, new versions of grep and sed which use libc regex routines, |
| - | thanks to Mark Whitley <[email protected]>. The hand-tooled |
| - | "regexp.[ch]" files have been removed. Much help on these from |
| - | Matt Kraai as well. |
| - | |
| - | |
| - | -Erik Andersen, 11 July 2000 |
| - | |
| - | |
| - | 0.45 |
| - | * Now compiles vs libc5 (which can save lots of space for |
| - | embedded systems). |
| - | * Added CONFIG_FEATURE_TRIVIAL_HELP which compiles out most all of the |
| - | help messages (i.e --help). Saves 17k over a full compile. |
| - | * Added cut and tr from minix, since due to the license change, |
| - | we can now use minix code. Minix tr saves 4k. |
| - | * insmod now works. It costs 29k, but imagine an initrd with a |
| - | staticly linked busybox containing only insmod and sh, a few /dev |
| - | entries, and a kernel module or two... It doesn't get smaller |
| - | then this folks (I pity the fool that writes insmod in asm ;-). |
| - | Many kudos go to Ron Alder <[email protected]> for finishing this off! |
| - | * Added a mini ar archive utility, especially written for BusyBox by |
| - | Glenn McGrath <[email protected]> |
| - | * Added mktemp, contributed by Daniel Jacobowitz <[email protected]> |
| - | * Added setkeycodes, for those that have wierd keyboard buttons. |
| - | * Added md5sum, uuencode and uudecode -- thanks to Alfred M. Szmidt |
| - | <[email protected]> for contributing these. |
| - | * Added 'grep -v' option (inverted search) and updated |
| - | docs accordingly. -beppu |
| - | * Wrote which |
| - | * Replaced the telnet implementation with one written by |
| - | Tomi Ollila <[email protected]> It works great and costs 3k. |
| - | * BusyBox sh (lash) now supports being used as a standalone shell. When |
| - | CONFIG_FEATURE_SH_STANDALONE_SHELL is defined, all the busybox commands may |
| - | be invoked as shell internals. Best used when compiling staticly |
| - | (i.e. DOSTATIC=true) |
| - | * BusyBox sh (lash) internals now behave as expected wrt pipes |
| - | and redirects. |
| - | * Fixed ping warnings -- fix from Sascha Ziemann <[email protected]> |
| - | * Fixed update segfault |
| - | * Fixed mknod -- minor number was always 0 |
| - | * Fixed tar option parsing, so both "tar xvf foo.tar" and |
| - | "tar -xvf foo.tar" now work (i.e. no "-" before options) |
| - | (this was very broken in 0.43). |
| - | * Several contributions from Randolph Chung <[email protected]>. |
| - | * cp/mv now accepts the -f flag |
| - | * tail can now accept -<num> commands (e.g. -10) for better |
| - | compatibility with the standard tail command |
| - | * added a simple id implementation; doesn't support sup. groups yet |
| - | * logname used getlogin(3) which uses utmp. Now it doesn't. |
| - | * whoami used getpwuid(3) which uses libc NSS. Now it behaves. |
| - | * Add support for "noatime" and "nodiratime" mount flags to mount. |
| - | * Changed 'umount -f' to mean force, and actually use umount2. |
| - | * Changed 'umount -l' to mean "Do not free loop device". |
| - | * Fixed basename to support stripping of suffixes. Patch thanks |
| - | to xiong jianxin <[email protected]> |
| - | * cp -fa now works as expected for symlinks (it didn't before) |
| - | * zcat now works (wasn't working since option parsing was broken) |
| - | * Renamed "mnc" to the more correct "nc" (for netcat). |
| - | * Makefile intelligence updates |
| - | * Changed the way init parses /etc/inittab entries to avoid problems |
| - | with commands that contain colons in them. Fix thanks to |
| - | Pavel Roskin <[email protected]> |
| - | * Fixed a warning in utility.c due to char being unsigned on Linux/PPC, |
| - | Fix thanks to Pavel Roskin <[email protected]> |
| - | * Made "killall" complain (not error and exit) about processes that it |
| - | cannot find by name -- Pavel Roskin <[email protected]> |
| - | * Fixed more and ps to have sensible terminal width defaults, thanks |
| - | to Pavel Roskin. |
| - | * Fixed all fatalError() calls lacking a "\n", thanks to Pavel Roskin. |
| - | * Fixed a segfault in yes when no args were given -- Pavel Roskin. |
| - | * Simplified freeramdisk and added argument checking -- Pavel Roskin. |
| - | * Fixed segfault caused by "touch -c" |
| - | * Fixed segfault caused by "rm -f" |
| - | * Fixed segfault caused by "ln -s -s" and similar abuses. Further fixes |
| - | and "--" support from Pavel Roskin. |
| - | * Fixed segfault caused by "cp -a -a" and similar abuses. |
| - | * Implemented "rm -- <foo>". Implementation fixed by Pavel Roskin. |
| - | * "which" rewritten to use stat(). Fixes to improve its compatability |
| - | with traditional implementations -- Pavel Roskin. |
| - | * "mount" now reports errors from nfsmount() and assumes NFS mount |
| - | if ':' is present in the device name - Pavel Roskin |
| - | * Fixed exit status for killall - Pavel Roskin |
| - | * Fixed 'swapon -a' and 'swapoff -a', which were broken. |
| - | * Fixed 'mount -a' so it works as expected. |
| - | * Implemented 'ls -R' (enabled by enabling CONFIG_FEATURE_LS_RECURSIVE) |
| - | * Implemented "ping -s", fixed error messages and argument parsing - |
| - | Pavel Roskin |
| - | * Syslogd will not go to background if "-n" is given. Better help |
| - | and argument checking -- Pavel Roskin |
| - | * Fixed a small bug that could cause tar to emit warning messages |
| - | and not extract the first file in a directory in some cases |
| - | of nested directories. Thanks to Kevin Traas <[email protected]> |
| - | for helping track this one down. |
| - | * More doc updates |
| - | * Fixed grep "Line too long" problem -- John Beppu |
| - | * Fixed 'grep -q -i B some_file' so it works |
| - | * math takes input from stdin if no args are given. -- John Beppu |
| - | * math was renamed to dc. Although it deviates from dc's behaviour, |
| - | this will probably be remedied in the future. -- John Beppu |

| - | |
| - | 0.44 |
| - | Previously, an erronous announcement of BusyBox 0.44 was made, so to |
| - | avoid possible confusion, we are skipping straight to 0.45, and calling |
| - | it good. |
| - | |
| - | -Erik Andersen |
| - | |
| - | |
| - | 0.43 |
| - | * Major update to the provided documentation. |
| - | * Busybox now includes a shell! It currently costs 7.5 k (plus an |
| - | additional 2.5 k if you compile in command line editing). Handles |
| - | job control, has the usual set of builtins, and does everything |
| - | except for handling programming statements (if, while, etc...) |
| - | * Busybox can now work perfectly when /proc is disabled, thereby |
| - | saving a bunch of memory (kernel /proc support is not thin). This |
| - | is done by making use of some nice kernel patches I wrote up to |
| - | support the features that busybox requires and that /proc usually |
| - | provides. To enable this, turn on CONFIG_FEATURE_USE_DEVPS_PATCH and |
| - | patch your kernel with the devps patch in the kernel-patches/ |
| - | directory. |
| - | * Wrote basename, dirname, killall, and uptime. |
| - | * tar has been completely rewritten by me. Both tar creation and |
| - | extraction are now well behaved. Costs 7.6k with all optional |
| - | tar features enabled, and 5k for just tar extraction support. |
| - | * Added freeramdisk, which will free up all memory associated |
| - | with a ram disk. Contributed by Emanuele Caratti <[email protected]> |
| - | and then adjusted a bit by me. |
| - | * Added tr from John Lombardo <[email protected]> |
| - | * Added echo and test (from me). |
| - | * Added usleep contributed by Nicolas Pitre <[email protected]> |
| - | * BusyBox's bss size has been majorly reduced (was 384668, is now 28740). |
| - | * Several fixes from Pavel Roskin <[email protected]>: |
| - | - When `tail' fails to open a file it now exits. |
| - | - When `syslogd' is given the `-n' option it should still use |
| - | fork() for running klogd. |
| - | * nslookup types are now changed to u_int32_t (instead of uint32_t) |
| - | changed per a patch from Pascal Bellard <[email protected]> |
| - | * Fixed "du" so it gives the same answers as GNU "du" (busybox du used |
| - | to count hard-linked files more then once). Many thanks to |
| - | Friedrich Vedder <[email protected]> for the fix. |
| - | * Removed /proc dependancies for init and free (while maintaining |
| - | exactly the same functionality). /proc takes up 90k of kernel |
| - | space, so it is nice to avoid using it at all costs. |
| - | * init no longer tries to mount /proc (unless there is less the 1 meg |
| - | free). Use of /proc (or not) is policy that should be set up in |
| - | /etc/fstab (or in hardcoded scripts), not in init. |
| - | * Fixed rebooting when init runs as an initrd. |
| - | * Fixes and updates from Karl M. Hegbloom <[email protected]> |
| - | - update.c rewritten to look more like update-2.11 |
| - | - moveed the inode hash out of du.c and into utility.c to make |
| - | it a common resource that can be used by other apps. |
| - | - cp_mv.c now checks inodes to see if a source and dest are |
| - | the same, and prints an error (instead of endlessly looping). |
| - | - mv now attempts to do a rename, and will fall back to doing |
| - | a copy only if the rename fails. |
| - | - Syslogd now supports multiple concurrent connections |
| - | * Several fixes from Pavel Roskin <[email protected]>: |
| - | - Fixes to sort. Removed "-g", fixed and added "-r" |
| - | - Fixes to the makefile for handling "strip" |
| - | * An initial telnet implementation was added by |
| - | Randolph Chung <[email protected]>. |
| - | * Fixed a bug where "sed 's/foo/bar/g'" (i.e. a script w/o a "-e") |
| - | * ps now supports CONFIG_FEATURE_AUTOWIDTH, and can adjust its width |
| - | to match the terminal (defaults to width=79 when this is off). |
| - | * ps now accepts (and ignores) all options except for "--help" (which |
| - | as would be expected displays help). |
| - | * Fixed mount'ing loop devices when the filesystem type was not |
| - | specified. It used to revert to non-loop after the first try. |
| - | * all mallocs now use xmalloc (and so are OOM error safe), and |
| - | the common error handling saves a few bytes. Thanks to |
| - | Bob Tinsley <[email protected]> for the patch. |
| - | * Fix "+" parsing bug in date, from "Merle F. McClelland" <[email protected]>. |
| - | * Fix symlink following bug in chmod -R and friends. |
| - | * Now allows SYSV style 'chown foo:bar' in addition to 'chown foo.bar' |
| - | * Fixed a bug in the busybox globbing routine such that 'find /dir -name [i]' |
| - | no longer segfaults. |
| - | |
| - | |
| - | -Erik Andersen |
| - | |
| - | |
| - | 0.42 |
| - | |
| - | * Fairly massive restructuring of umount.c to deal with remounting |
| - | busy devices read-only. Adds a -r option to control that; it is |
| - | optionally compiled in with CONFIG_FEATURE_REMOUNT |
| - | * Added a bunch of functions to mtab.c to interact with the |
| - | {get,set,end}mntent interface; as it turns out, those functions do |
| - | not appear to be re-entrant, and that causes a lot of problems with |
| - | the way umount was originally written. |
| - | * Makes init send TERM and KILL (instead of HUP and KILL) on reboot |
| - | to be more consistent with sysvinit |
| - | * Changes to init.c to use the new -r option to umount. Also increased |
| - | the sleep time between the time the TERM and KILL signals are sent |
| - | |
| - | - Randolph Chung |
| - | |
| - | |
| - | * cp.c, mv.c: removed, replaced by cp_mv.c which has been |
| - | extensively rewritten from the original cp.c. |
| - | * Fixed cp and mv so if the source and destination are a the |
| - | same directory it will print an error and continue. |
| - | * Also added a warning message to the `mv' usage string saying that |
| - | this is not GNU mv, and it will break hard links. cp also breaks |
| - | hard links. |
| - | * ln.c: implemented `-n' switch, no-deref symlinks. |
| - | * include<sys/param.h>: and use PATH_MAX everywhere. busybox: File |
| - | * name buffer overrun guards to prevent future crashes. |
| - | - Always check exit status. |
| - | - Purge all use of `creat()', replace with `open()'. |
| - | * utility.c |
| - | - recursiveAction was overriding the value of followLinks thus |
| - | ignoring it. |
| - | - isDirectory now takes a followLinks boolean, updated all callers |
| - | - copyFile had the followLinks logic reversed. |
| - | * messages.c: New file. Put common error message strings all in |
| - | one place in an attempt to shrink the binary a little. |
| - | |
| - | -Karl M. Hegbloom |
| - | |
| - | |
| - | * changed fsck_minix.c to reduce its .bss size significantly |
| - | -beppu -piptigger |
| - | * Made tar creation support in busybox tar optional. You no longer |
| - | * _have_ to put a "-" in front of tar options. Tar could inadvertently |
| - | * change permissions and ownership on |
| - | certain directories pointed to by symlinks. |
| - | * Made grep and grep -h do the right thing wrt printing |
| - | the file name (it failed to print files names in many cases). |
| - | * Fix a namespace aliasing problem wereby if du was built in, the |
| - | symlink for both du and dutmp would be installed, or then rm was |
| - | built in, the symlinks for both rm and rmmod would be installed. |
| - | * Added a closelog() to init.c after loging -- fix thanks to |
| - | Taketoshi Sano <[email protected]> |
| - | * Rewrote and simplified logger. Added the "-t" option, and made it |
| - | behave itself a bit better. |
| - | * Optional support contributed by Ben Collins <[email protected]> |
| - | for the kernel init chroot patch by Werner Almesberger, which |
| - | allows init to chroot to a new device, and umount the old one. |
| - | * Fixed bug that wouldn't let one chown a symlink -- it would |
| - | always dereference before. -beppu |
| - | * Fixed a bug where init could have reference already freed memory. |
| - | Found and fixed by Taketoshi Sano <[email protected]> |
| - | * Several contributions from Friedrich Vedder <[email protected]> |
| - | * Added (and documented) "-n" option for head |
| - | * Cleanup for a number of usage messages -- also |
| - | contributed Friedrich Vedder <[email protected]> |
| - | * Cosmetic fix to busybox.c (Don't print a comma at the |
| - | end of line if there are no more application names). |
| - | * Fixed a stupid bug in "head" option handling ("head -n" |
| - | would segfault). |
| - | * Moved commonly used functions "xmalloc()" and "exit()" |
| - | to utility.c (with proper #ifdef's). |
| - | * Created a tiny tail implementation, removing -c, -q, -v, and making |
| - | tail -f work only with a single file. This reduced tail from 6k to |
| - | 2.4k. The bigger/more featured tail can still be had by disabling |
| - | CONFIG_FEATURE_SIMPLE_TAIL in busybox.defs.h |
| - | * Ping now falls back to doing the right thing if /etc/protocols |
| - | turns up missing. |
| - | * Fixed mount and umount. Previously they could leak loop device |
| - | allocations, causing the system to quickly run out. Fix for umount |
| - | by Ben Collins <[email protected]>, and mount was fixed by me. |
| - | * ls formatting on eight charactor user names fixed by |
| - | Randolph Chung <[email protected]>. |
| - | * cp could, when copying symlinks, change permissions of the |
| - | files pointed to by the symlinks. |
| - | * Several fixes from Pavel Roskin <[email protected]>: |
| - | - `chown' with 1 argument displayed the error incorrectly |
| - | - `fdflush', `length' and `printf' crashed if run without arguments |
| - | - `fdflush' tried to flush itself using *argv |
| - | - added "skip" and "seek" to dd. |
| - | - ls no longer messus up output when combining files and |
| - | directories on the command line |
| - | * swapoff -a was not working. Now it is. |
| - | * init did not cleanly unmount filesystems on reboot. Now it does. |
| - | * "sed -ne s/foo/bar/" worked but "sed -n -e s/foo/bar/" didn't. |
| - | Now both work. |
| - | * Some architectures (PowerPc) assume chars are unsigned, so they could |
| - | not distinguish between EOF and '\0xFF' in sed. Sed now uses ints. |
| - | * Began converting error handling to use some common routines |
| - | in utility.c |
| - | * syslogd now has better message handling and ignores SIGHUP. |
| - | * install.sh had a bug preventing installation to the specified |
| - | target directory. Fix from Gilbert Coville <[email protected]> |
| - | * You can now spefify alternative strip commands -- change |
| - | also from Gilbert Coville. |

| - | * New Apps: wc, hostid, logname, tty, whoami, yes -- all contributed |
| - | by Edward Betts <[email protected]> |
| - | * Fixed a bug in both cp and mv preventing 'cp foo/README bar' |
| - | type commands (file in a directory to another directory) from |
| - | working. |
| - | * Fixed a logger bug that caused garbage to be written to the syslog |
| - | (unless you used busybox syslog, which hid the bug). Thanks to |
| - | Alex Holden <[email protected]> for the fix. |
| - | * /bin/true and /bin/false were echoing a blank line when run. |
| - | Now fixed. |
| - | * mkdir -p would print an error when asked to mkdir an existing dir |
| - | with no interveining subdirectories. |
| - | * Fixed "syslogd -O" so that it works. Added -o loop option for mount, |
| - | * and support in umount for loop |
| - | devices. Support is toggled by MOUNT_LOOP feature -- Ben Collins |
| - | <[email protected]> |
| - | * Several fixes from Marco Pantaleoni <[email protected]> compile in |
| - | * fullWrite() not only if CONFIG_TAR is defined, but also |
| - | if CONFIG_CP or CONFIG_MV are (fullWrite() is referenced by copyFile()) |
| - | * add some compiler optimizations to further reduce executable size |
| - | (as a side note, on my machines the largest code is generated |
| - | by gcc 2.95.2 with -Os ! The smallest by plain gcc 2.7.2.3 with |
| - | -O2 -m386 ...) |
| - | * Compile now won't fail if busybox.def.h defines |
| - | CONFIG_FEATURE_INITRD but not CONFIG_INIT. (init_main used to be |
| - | referenced, but not compiled) |
| - | * Fixed a bug in setting TERM for serial console support. TERM now |
| - | defaults to "ansi" for serial consoles. |
| - | * Fixed a bug in handling the CONSOLE env. variable for serial |
| - | * consoles. |

| - | * fbset contributed by Randolph Chung <[email protected]>. New App:: |
| - | * loadacm contributed by Peter Novodvorsky <[email protected]> |
| - | for loading application character maps for Unicode fonts. |
| - | * Major init re-work. init now supports inittab (slightly different |
| - | but similar to sysvinit), allowing me to get all the policy out of |
| - | init and into the conf file. It works just fine without inittab |
| - | being present, but if you dont like the default behavior you can |
| - | now do something about it. Init is much cleaner as a result. |
| - | * Fixed an bug in syslogd causing it to stop after 20 minutes. -erik |
| - | * Fixed an embarrasing segfault in head -beppu Fixed the embarrasing |
| - | * failure of 'logger -p'. -erik Added the -s option to du -beppu |
| - | * Re-worked the source tree a bit so it will compile under glibc 2.0.7 |
| - | with the 2.0.x Linux kernel. |
| - | * Added 'grep -q' thanks to a patch from "Konstantin Boldyshev" |
| - | <[email protected]>. |
| - | * Grep -i previously failed on UPPER CASE patterns due to a silly |
| - | regexp implementation bug that is now fixed. |
| - | * Fixed a bug where tar would set, and then clear SGID and SUID bits. |
| - | * Fixed a bug where tar would not set the user and group on device |
| - | special files. |
| - | * Fixed a bug where tar would not restore the time to files. Fixed a |
| - | * major security problem with tar -- it changed ownership |
| - | of any file pointed to by a symlink to 777 (like say libc....) |
| - | Ouch!!! |
| - | * cp and mv were very broken when moving directories. I have rewritten |
| - | them so they should now work as expected. |
| - | * sed now supports addresses (numeric or regexp, with negation) and |
| - | has an append command, thanks to Marco Pantaleoni <[email protected]> |
| - | * Fixed dmesg. It wasn't parsing its options (-n or -s) properly. |
| - | * Some cosmetic fixes to ls output formatting to make it behave more |
| - | like GNU ls. |
| - | * Fixed a stupid segfault in kill. Several fixes from Friedrich Vedder |
| - | * <[email protected]>: |
| - | - Added gunzip -t, removed gunzip.c dead code, |
| - | - fixed several typos |
| - | - Glibc 2.0.7 and libc5 compile fixes |
| - | * Fixed a bug where 'mknod --help' would segfault. |

| - | * New Apps: ping, hostname, and mkfifo contributed by Randolph Chung |
| - | <[email protected]>. 3 items off the TODO list! |
| - | * I wrote free (just calls "cat /proc/meminfo"). Added tail, based on |
| - | * tail from GNU textutils-1.19, but adjusted |
| - | to suit my evil purposes. Costs 6k. I'll make it smaller |
| - | sometime. |
| - | * on reboot, init called 'umount -a -n', which caused errors |
| - | when CONFIG_MTAB was not enabled. Changed to 'umount -a', which does |
| - | the right thing. |
| - | * init will now try to run /sbin/getty if it is present (for easy |
| - | integration with the about-to-be-released tinylogin.) |
| - | * kill now behaves itself properly, added 'kill -l' to list signals 'ls |
| - | * -l' was failing on long directories, since my_getid was leaking |
| - | one file descriptor per file. Oops. |
| - | * Fixed rebooting from init. I'd accidently left some debugging code |
| - | * in |
| - | which blocked reboots. |
| - | * Fixed reboot, halt (and added poweroff) such that they handle it when |
| - | init is not at PID 1 (like when running in an initrd). |
| - | * Added a prelinary du implementation. Some parameter parsing |
| - | stuff still needs to be added. -beppu (John Beppu |
| - | <[email protected]>) |
| - | * Implemented tee. -beppu Implemented head. -beppu |
| - | |

| - | 0.38 |
| - | * Fixed a segfault in 'umount -a' when a badly formed /etc/fstab |
| - | file existed. |
| - | * df will not exit on error, but will stat all mounted filesystems. |
| - | * Fixed tar so uid/gid/permissions on extracted tarballs will be |
| - | correct. |
| - | * Fixed find -name so it properly uses shell wildcard patterns |
| - | (i.e. `*', `?', and `[]') instead of regular expressions, which |
| - | was causing some confusing and unexpected behavior. |
| - | * Added klogd to syslogd, so now the log will contain both system and |
| - | kernel messages. |
| - | * syslogd now creates the /dev/log socket to make sure it is there, and |
| - | is actually a socket with the right permissions. |
| - | * I've taken a first step to making busybox not need the /proc |
| - | filesystem. Most apps don't need it. Those that _require_ it, |
| - | will complain if you enable them when you disable |
| - | CONFIG_FEATURE_USE_PROCFS. |
| - | |
| - | -Erik Andersen, Dec 5, 1999 |
| - | |
| - | 0.37 |
| - | * Wrote a micro syslogd, and a logger util (to log things to the syslog |
| - | from the command line or scripts) With both compiled in, costs 4k. |
| - | * Fixed 'make install' so symlinks are installed in their proper |
| - | * locations. Changed the build system slightly so that features can |
| - | * now be enabled |
| - | or disabled from the busybox.defs.h header file, without trying to |
| - | compile in a source file named after that featue (unless that file |
| - | exists). |
| - | * Several options are now moved into busybox.defs.h Now 'rm -R' and 'rm |
| - | * -r' both work. dd now properly handles input beyond 1 block from |
| - | * stdin. Fixed a bug where tar unpacked everything a directories. |
| - | * Moved some code |
| - | from createPath into mkdir where it belonged, thereby making tar |
| - | work properly. |
| - | * Fixed an off-by-one bug in cat. Given a list of file it wouldn't cat |
| - | * out the |
| - | last file in the list. |
| - | * Fixed 'ls -ln' so numeric group/uid are presented properly, and fixed |
| - | * 'ls -l' |
| - | so when uid/gid is not in /etc/{passwd,group} the numeric group/uid |
| - | are presented properly. |
| - | * Also added a TODO. |
| - | |

| - | 0.36 |
| - | * fixed dd so it properly defaults to stdin and stdout when no |
| - | if= and of= are set (fix thanks to Eric Delaunay). |
| - | * Don't try to close the file descriptor of a pipein tar. (fix also |
| - | * from |
| - | Eric Delaunay). |
| - | * Made createPath be quiet (again thanks to Eric Delaunay). If |
| - | * CONFIG_CONSOLE_CMD_IF_RC_SCRIPT_EXITS is defined, then whatever |
| - | command you define it as will be run if the init script exits. |
| - | * Updated install.sh to make it more robust (thanks to Adam Di Carlo) |
| - | * NFS support added to mount by Eric Delaunay. It costs 10k when |
| - | * compiled |
| - | in, but that is still a big win for those that use NFS. |
| - | * Made 'rm -f' be silent for non-existant files (thanks to Eric |
| - | * Delaunay). changed zcat.c to gunzip.c. It now obeys the principle |
| - | * of least surprise |
| - | and acts as god intended gunzip and zcat to act. They answer |
| - | --help and obey the '-c' flag. |
| - | * Fixed a bug in mv which caused it to not move files when the |
| - | * destination |
| - | was a directory. |
| - | * Fixed a decimal-instead-of-octal bug causing mkdir to make |
| - | * directories |
| - | with very wrong permissions. |
| - | * chmod would overwrite file permissions instead of modifying them. |
| - | Now it properly modifies permissions. |
| - | * Init now sends warnings destined for the console to /dev/console to |
| - | * ensure |
| - | they show up on whatever the active console it. Otherwise |
| - | important messages (for example that the system is rebooting) were |
| - | not seen when switched to a different VT. |
| - | |

| - | |
| - | 0.35 |
| - | * gzip now obeys the principle of least surprise and acts like god |
| - | * intended |
| - | (i.e. it accepts a file name, answers --help, and obeys the '-c' |
| - | flag and only then outputs to stdout). |
| - | * Fixed more.c to compile autowidth on sparc and set initial winsize |
| - | to 0,0 in case the TIOCGWINSZ ioctl fails. Fix thanks to Eric |
| - | Delaunay. |
| - | * Fixed tar so it now works as expected (it had TRUE/FALSE backwards) |
| - | * tar now accepts --help chmod, chown, and chgrp usage now works |
| - | * General usage (i.e. --help) cleanups for most apps umount now parses |
| - | * options correctly tar can now unpack tarballs containing device |
| - | * special files, |
| - | sockets, and fifos (though it can't pack them up) thanks to Matt |
| - | Porter. Creating archives containing these is still left to the |
| - | interested student. |
| - | * fixed up the license in more.c to properly point to Bruce Perens. |

| - | 0.34 |
| - | * ls -l now displays link names outside the current directory, |
| - | Patch thanks to Eric Delaunay |
| - | * init now properly handles sparc serial consoles and does a |
| - | better job of finding the real console device rather than using |
| - | /dev/console which doesn't support job control. Patch also thanks |
| - | to Eric Delaunay. |
| - | * more started to read from stdin after the last file was finished, and |
| - | options were not parsed correctly (fix thanks to Eric Delaunay). |
| - | * more will now use the terminal size if CONFIG_FEATURE_AUTOWIDTH is on. |
| - | * rm wouldn't remove a symlink unless the symlink was valid. This was |
| - | a side effect of the busybox 0.32 recursiveAction() fix. Things |
| - | should now work correctly. |
| - | * grep wouldn't grep stdin. Now it does. sed wouldn't sed stdin. Now |
| - | * it does. sed was appending a \n to the end of lines with |
| - | * replacements. |
| - | Now it doesn't do that. |
| - | * ls -l now bypasses libc6 nss when displaying user/group names. |
| - | Now uses my_getpwuid and my_getgrgid. |

| - | 0.33 |
| - | * Fixed a bug where init could hang instead of rebooting. |
| - | * Removed some debugging noise from init.c |
| - | * Fixed ln so it works now (it was very broken). |
| - | * Fixed df so it won't segfault when there is no /etc/fstab, |
| - | * If CONFIG_MTAB is not defined, df and mount will whine if /etc/fstab |
| - | is not installed (since they cannot fixup "/dev/root" to |
| - | state the real root device name) |
| - | * merged some redundant code from mtab.c/df.c into utility.c |

| - | * More changes -- If you have any problems please let me know ASAP at |
| - | [email protected] |
| - | * usage() now prints the BusyBox version. This will help folks |
| - | realize that they are not in Kansas anymore. |
| - | * Fixed mkdir -m option so that it works. kill segfaulted w/o any |
| - | * arguments. Now it doesn't do that. kill wasn't properly accepting |
| - | * signal names. It does now. Added new apps chvt and deallocvt (I |
| - | * should probably add open) Major rewrite of init.c. Code is now |
| - | * readable by mere mortals IMHO. Wrote sed -- weighs only 1.8k (5.8k |
| - | * with full regular expressions!). Fixed a stupid seg-fault in sync |
| - | * Fixed mount -- mount -a failed to parse and apply mount options Fixed |
| - | * umount -n (patch thanks to Matthew Grant <[email protected]>) |
| - | * umount -a no longer umounts /proc Added CONFIG_MTAB, allowing (at the |
| - | * cost of ~1.5k and the need for a rw /etc) |
| - | folks to use a real /etc/mtab file instead of a symlink to |
| - | /proc/mounts. mount, and umount will add/remove entries and df |
| - | will now use /etc/mtab if CONFIG_MTAB is defined. |
| - | * Fixed a nice bug in recursiveAction() which caused it to infinitely |
| - | hunt through /proc/../fd/* creating new file descriptors if it |
| - | followed the /dev/fd link over to /proc. recursiveAction() now |
| - | lstat's the file when followLinks==FALSE so it won't follow links |
| - | as the name suggests. Fix thanks to Matt Porter |
| - | <[email protected]>. |

| - | 0.31 |
| - | * I added a changelog for version 0.30. adjusted find internals to |
| - | * make it smaller, and removed |
| - | some redundancy. |
| - | * Fixed a segfault in ps when /etc/passwd or /etc/group |
| - | are absent. Now will warn you and carry on. |
| - | * Added in optional _real_ regular expression support (to be |
| - | the basis for a future sed utility). When compiled in it adds |
| - | 3.9k, but makes grep much more capable. |
| - | * Checked out using nftw(3) for recursive stuff, but unfortunatly |
| - | it wasn't supported before GNU libc 2.1, and some folks use glibc |
| - | 2.0.7 since it is much smaller than that latest and greatest. |

| - | |
| - | 0.30 |
| - | Major changes -- lots of stuff rewritten. If you have any problems |
| - | with busybox, or notice any bugs -- please let me know so I can fix |
| - | it. These changes include: |
| - | |
| - | Core Changes: |
| - | * busybox can now invoke apps in two ways: via symlinks to the |
| - | busybox binary, and as 'busybox [function] [arguments]...' |
| - | * When invoked as busybox, the list of currently compiled in |
| - | functions is printed out (no this is not bloat -- the list has |
| - | to be there anyway to map invocation name to function). |
| - | * busybox no longer parses command lines for apps or displays their |
| - | usage info. Each app gets to handle (or not handle) this for |
| - | itself. |
| - | * Eliminated monadic, dyadic, descend, block_device, and |
| - | postprocess. It was cumbersome to have so many programs |
| - | cobbled together in this way. Without them, the app is much |
| - | more granular. |
| - | * All shared code now lives in utility.c, and is properly |
| - | ifdef'ed to be only included for those apps requiring it. |
| - | * Eliminated struct FileInfo (the basis of monadic, dyadic, etc) |
| - | so now each app has the function prototype of (da-dum): extern |
| - | int foo_main(int argc, char** argv); which speeds integration |
| - | of new apps. |
| - | * Adjusted the Makefile to make it easier to |
| - | {en|dis}able debugging. |
| - | * Changed default compiler optimization to -Os |
| - | (optimize for smaller binaries). |
| - | |
| - | App Changes: |
| - | * To cope with the new app function prototype and the removal of |
| - | monadic, dyadic, etc, the following apps were re-written: |
| - | * cat - Works same as always. chgrp, chmod, chown - |
| - | * rewrite. Combined into a single |
| - | source file. Absorbed patches from Enrique Zanardi |
| - | <[email protected]> that removes the dependency on |
| - | libc6 libnss* libraries. |
| - | * cp - Can now do 'cp -a' can can copy devices, |
| - | pipes, symlinks, as well as recursive or non-recursive |
| - | dir copies. |
| - | * fdflush - adjusted to remove dependancy on struct |
| - | * FileInfo. find - Now includes some basic regexp matching |
| - | which will be the basic of a future mini-sed. |
| - | * ln - Same functionality. mkdir - Added -p flag to |
| - | * feature set. mv - rewrite. rm - Added -f flag to |
| - | * feature set. rmdir - Same functionality. swapon, |
| - | * swapoff - Combined into a single binary. No longer |
| - | uses /etc/swaps. swap{on|off} -a uses /etc/fstab |
| - | instead. |
| - | * touch - Same functionality. date - adjusted with a patch |
| - | * from Matthew Grant <[email protected]> |
| - | to accomodate glibc timezone support. I then ripped out GNU |
| - | getopt. |
| - | * mkswap -- new version merged from util-linux. Can now make |
| - | >128Meg swaps. |
| - | * Replaced the old and star, unstar, and tarcat with the tar |
| - | implementation from sash. Now tar behaves as god intended it |
| - | to (i.e. tar -xvf <file> and tar -cf <file> <dir> work). |
| - | * dd -- rewritten. Can with with files, stdin, stdout. Added the |
| - | * following new apps: loadfont -- added from debian boot floppies |
| - | * chroot -- added based on a patch from Paolo Molaro |
| - | * <[email protected]> grep -- I just wrote it. Only matches |
| - | * simple strings ps -- I just wrote it. Has _no_ options at all, |
| - | * but works. fsck_minix, mkfs_minix -- added from util-linux, but |
| - | * I ripped out |
| - | internationalization and such to make them smaller. |
| - | * sfdisk -- Added from util-linux (minus |
| - | * internationalization and such). Probably some other |
| - | * changes that I forgot to document... |
