| 2 | * fixed dd so it properly defaults to stdin and stdout when no |
| 3 | if= and of= are set (fix thanks to Eric Delaunay). |
| 4 | * Don't try to close the file descriptor of a pipe. (fix also from |
| 5 | Eric Delaunay). |
| 6 | * Made createPath be quiet (again thanks to Eric Delaunay). |
| 7 | * If BB_CONSOLE_CMD_IF_RC_SCRIPT_EXITS is defined, then whatever |
| 8 | command you define it as will be run if the init script exits. |
| 9 | * Made createPath be quiet (again thanks to Eric Delaunay). |

| Eric Andersen | 96bcfd3 | 1999-11-12 01:30:18 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 14 | * gzip now obeys the principle of least surprise and acts like god intended |
| 15 | (i.e. it accepts a file name, answers --help, and obeys the '-c' flag |
| 16 | and only then outputs to stdout). |
| 17 | * Fixed more.c to compile autowidth on sparc and set initial winsize |
| 18 | to 0,0 in case the TIOCGWINSZ ioctl fails. Fix thanks to Eric Delaunay. |
| Eric Andersen | d73dc5b | 1999-11-10 23:13:02 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 19 | * Fixed tar so it now works as expected (it had TRUE/FALSE backwards) |
| 20 | * tar now accepts --help |
| 21 | * chmod, chown, and chgrp usage now works |
| Eric Andersen | 96bcfd3 | 1999-11-12 01:30:18 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 22 | * General usage (i.e. --help) cleanups for most apps |
| Eric Andersen | d73dc5b | 1999-11-10 23:13:02 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 23 | * umount now parses options correctly |
| Eric Andersen | 96bcfd3 | 1999-11-12 01:30:18 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 24 | * tar can now unpack tarballs containing device special files, |
| 25 | sockets, and fifos (though it can't pack them up) thanks |
| 26 | to Matt Porter. Creating archives containing these is still |
| 27 | left to the interested student. |
| 28 | * fixed up the license in more.c to properly point to Bruce Perens. |

| Eric Andersen | 07e5297 | 1999-11-07 07:38:08 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 34 | Patch thanks to Eric Delaunay |
| 35 | * init now properly handles sparc serial consoles and does a |
| Eric Andersen | 84d8568 | 1999-11-10 20:17:47 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 36 | better job of finding the real console device rather than using |
| Eric Andersen | 07e5297 | 1999-11-07 07:38:08 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 37 | /dev/console which doesn't support job control. Patch also |

| Eric Andersen | 50d6360 | 1999-11-09 01:47:36 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 39 | * more started to read from stdin after the last file was finished, and |
| 40 | options were not parsed correctly (fix thanks to Eric Delaunay). |
| Eric Andersen | 3d8dbe1 | 1999-11-09 01:51:02 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 41 | * more will now use the terminal size if BB_FEATURE_AUTOWIDTH is on. |
| Eric Andersen | 50d6360 | 1999-11-09 01:47:36 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 42 | * rm wouldn't remove a symlink unless the symlink was valid. This was |
| 43 | a side effect of the busybox 0.32 recursiveAction() fix. Things |
| 44 | should now work correctly. |
| 45 | * grep wouldn't grep stdin. Now it does. |
| 46 | * sed wouldn't sed stdin. Now it does. |
| 47 | * sed was appending a \n to the end of lines with replacements. |
| 48 | Now it doesn't do that. |
| 49 | * ls -l now bypasses libc6 nss when displaying user/group names. |
| 50 | Now uses my_getpwuid and my_getgrgid. |

| 57 | * Fixed ln so it works now (it was very broken). |
| 58 | * Fixed df so it won't segfault when there is no /etc/fstab, |
| 59 | * If BB_MTAB is not defined, df and mount will whine if /etc/fstab |
| 60 | is not installed (since they cannot fixup "/dev/root" to |
| 61 | state the real root device name) |
| 62 | * merged some redundant code from mtab.c/df.c into utility.c |

| Eric Andersen | d0246fb | 1999-11-04 21:18:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 75 | * Added new apps chvt and deallocvt (I should probably add open) |
| 76 | * Major rewrite of init.c. Code is now readable by mere mortals IMHO. |
| Eric Andersen | ff719d6 | 1999-10-29 23:36:31 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 77 | * Wrote sed -- weighs only 1.8k (5.8k with full regular expressions!). |

| Eric Andersen | cf8c9cf | 1999-11-05 00:31:46 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 80 | * Fixed umount -n (patch thanks to Matthew Grant <grantma@anathoth.gen.nz>) |
| 81 | * umount -a no longer umounts /proc |
| Eric Andersen | d0246fb | 1999-11-04 21:18:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 82 | * Added BB_MTAB, allowing (at the cost of ~1.5k and the need for a rw /etc) |
| 83 | folks to use a real /etc/mtab file instead of a symlink to /proc/mounts. |
| 84 | mount, and umount will add/remove entries and df will now use /etc/mtab |
| 85 | if BB_MTAB is defined. |
| Eric Andersen | cf8c9cf | 1999-11-05 00:31:46 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 86 | * Fixed a nice bug in recursiveAction() which caused it to infinitely |
| 87 | hunt through /proc/../fd/* creating new file descriptors if it |
| 88 | followed the /dev/fd link over to /proc. recursiveAction() now |
| 89 | lstat's the file when followLinks==FALSE so it won't follow links |
| 90 | as the name suggests. Fix thanks to Matt Porter <porter@debian.org>. |

| 97 | * adjusted find internals to make it smaller, and removed |
| 98 | some redundancy. |
| 99 | * Fixed a segfault in ps when /etc/passwd or /etc/group |
| 100 | are absent. Now will warn you and carry on. |
| 101 | * Added in optional _real_ regular expression support (to be |
| Eric Andersen | 8eefd02 | 1999-10-22 05:18:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 102 | the basis for a future sed utility). When compiled in |
| 103 | it adds 3.9k, but makes grep much more capable. |
| Eric Andersen | 51f8c89 | 1999-10-22 05:14:44 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 104 | * Checked out using nftw(3) for recursive stuff, but unfortunatly |
| 105 | it wasn't supported before GNU libc 2.1, and some folks use |
| 106 | glibc 2.0.7 since it is much smaller than that latest and greatest. |

| 111 | Major changes -- lots of stuff rewritten. Many thanks to Lineo for |
| 112 | paying me to make these updates. If you have any problems with busybox, |
| Eric Andersen | aa0765e | 1999-10-22 04:30:20 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 113 | or notice any bugs -- please let me know so I can fix it. These |
| 114 | changes include: |
| 115 | |
| 116 | Core Changes: |
| 117 | * busybox can now invoke apps in two ways: via symlinks to the |
| 118 | busybox binary, and as 'busybox [function] [arguments]...' |
| 119 | * When invoked as busybox, the list of currently compiled in |
| 120 | functions is printed out (no this is not bloat -- the list |
| 121 | has to be there anyway to map invocation name to function). |
| 122 | * busybox no longer parses command lines for apps or displays their |
| 123 | usage info. Each app gets to handle (or not handle) this for |
| 124 | itself. |
| 125 | * Eliminated monadic, dyadic, descend, block_device, and |
| 126 | postprocess. It was cumbersome to have so many programs |
| 127 | cobbled together in this way. Without them, the app is much |
| 128 | more granular. |
| 129 | * All shared code now lives in utility.c, and is properly |
| 130 | ifdef'ed to be only included for those apps requiring it. |
| 131 | * Eliminated struct FileInfo (the basis of monadic, dyadic, etc) |
| 132 | so now each app has the function prototype of (da-dum): |
| 133 | extern int foo_main(int argc, char** argv); |
| 134 | which speeds integration of new apps. |
| 135 | * Adjusted the Makefile to make it easier to |
| 136 | {en|dis}able debugging. |
| 137 | * Changed default compiler optimization to -Os |
| 138 | (optimize for smaller binaries). |
| 139 | |
| 140 | App Changes: |
| 141 | * To cope with the new app function prototype and the removal of |
| 142 | monadic, dyadic, etc, the following apps were re-written: |
| 143 | * cat - Works same as always. |
| 144 | * chgrp, chmod, chown - rewrite. Combined into a single |
| 145 | source file. Absorbed patches from Enrique Zanardi <ezanard@debian.org> |
| 146 | that removes the dependency on libc6 libnss* libraries. |
| 147 | * cp - Can now do 'cp -a' can can copy devices, |
| 148 | pipes, symlinks, as well as recursive or non-recursive dir copies. |
| 149 | * fdflush - adjusted to remove dependancy on struct FileInfo. |
| 150 | * find - Now includes some basic regexp matching |
| 151 | which will be the basic of a future mini-sed. |
| 152 | * ln - Same functionality. |
| 153 | * mkdir - Added -p flag to feature set. |
| 154 | * mv - rewrite. |
| 155 | * rm - Added -f flag to feature set. |
| 156 | * rmdir - Same functionality. |
| 157 | * swapon, swapoff - Combined into a single binary. No longer |
| 158 | uses /etc/swaps. swap{on|off} -a uses /etc/fstab instead. |
| 159 | * touch - Same functionality. |
| 160 | * date - adjusted with a patch from Matthew Grant <grantma@anathoth.gen.nz> |
| 161 | to accomodate glibc timezone support. I then ripped out GNU getopt. |
| 162 | * mkswap -- new version merged from util-linux. Can now make >128Meg swaps. |
| 163 | * Replaced the old and star, unstar, and tarcat with the tar |
| 164 | implementation from sash. Now tar behaves as god intended |
| 165 | it to (i.e. tar -xvf <file> and tar -cf <file> <dir> work). |
| 166 | * dd -- rewritten. Can with with files, stdin, stdout. |
| 167 | * Added the following new apps: |
| 168 | * loadfont -- added from debian boot floppies |
| 169 | * chroot -- added based on a patch from Paolo Molaro <lupus@lettere.unipd.it> |
| 170 | * grep -- I just wrote it. Only matches simple strings |
| 171 | * ps -- I just wrote it. Has _no_ options at all, but works. |
| 172 | * fsck_minix, mkfs_minix -- added from util-linux, but I ripped out |
| 173 | internationalization and such to make them smaller. |
| 174 | * sfdisk -- Added from util-linux (minus internationalization and such). |
| 175 | * Probably some other changes that I forgot to document... |
