| Eric Andersen | b186d98 | 1999-12-03 09:19:54 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1 | TODO list for busybox in no particular order. Just because something |
| 2 | is listed here doesn't mean that it is going to be added to busybox, |
| 3 | or that doing so is even a good idea. It just means that I _might_ get |
| 4 | around to it some time. If you have any good ideas, please let me know. |

| 7 | needed or wanted in busybox (or else I'd have to link in libcrypt). |

| Erik Andersen | 3163821 | 2000-01-15 22:28:50 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 9 | * Networking apps are probably going to be split out some time soon into a |
| 10 | separate package (named perhaps tiny-netkit?). This currently includes |
| 11 | hostid, hostname, mnc, and ping. |

| Erik Andersen | d7ce5e78 | 2000-02-09 04:40:25 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 13 | * init's waitfor() calls wait() which can catch and ignore the wrong pid |
| 14 | exiting. That other process is then not restarted. |

| 55 | tar: Skipping to next file header |
| 56 | tar: Skipping to next file header |
| 57 | tar: Archive - EOF not on block boundary |
| 58 | tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now |

| 61 | #1 You are storing by id instead of name like normal tar. Did you realize this? |
| 62 | (or am I missing some compile option? )ctar did not do this, and I don't think |
| 63 | it's a good idea for LRP. |
| 64 | |
| 65 | #2 |
| 66 | ctar did not produce the EOF error like your tar does. I believe you need to |
| 67 | pad the end of the archive with at least 2 tarsized (512byte) blocks. (I |
| 68 | think???) |
| 69 | |
| 70 | #3 |
| 71 | There is no exclude file(s) option to tar. LRP's packaging system can not |
| 72 | function without this. Will you have the time to add this soon? |
